The Temptation of Jesus
Mk 1:12–13; Lk 4:1–13
1#Lk 4:1–13; Heb 2:18Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. 2#1Ki 19:8; Ex 34:28And He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, and then He was hungry. 3#1Th 3:5; Mt 3:17And the tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be turned into bread.”
4#Dt 8:3; Lk 4:4; Mt 4:7But He answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’#Ex 20:12; Dt 5:16.”
5#Mt 27:53; Ne 11:1Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on the highest point of the temple, 6#Ps 91:11–12and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written,
‘He shall give His angels charge concerning you,’#Ps 91:11–12.
and
‘In their hands they shall lift you up,
lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.’#Ps 91:12.”
7#Dt 6:16; Mt 4:4Jesus said to him, “It is also written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’#Dt 6:16.”
8#Mt 16:26; 1Jn 2:15–16Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur, 9and said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. ”
10#1Ch 21:1; Dt 10:20Then Jesus said to him, “Get away from here, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’#Dt 6:13. ”
11#Mt 26:53; Lk 22:43; Heb 1:14Then the devil left Him, and immediately angels came and ministered to Him.
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry
Mk 1:14–15; Lk 4:14–15
12#Mk 1:14; Lk 3:20; 4:14Now when Jesus heard that John was put in prison, He left for Galilee. 13#Mk 1:21; Jn 4:46And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14#Mt 1:22that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying:
15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:
16#Lk 2:32; Job 3:5 The people who sat in darkness
saw great light.
And on those who sat in the land of the shadow of death,
light has dawned.”
17#Mt 3:2; Mk 1:14–15From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
The Calling of the First Disciples
Mk 1:16–20; Lk 5:1–11
18#Jn 1:40–42; Mt 15:29As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
21#Mt 10:2And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them. 22They immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him.
Ministering to Great Crowds
Lk 6:17–19
23#Mt 9:35; 13:54; Mk 1:21Jesus went throughout all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all sorts of diseases among the people. 24#Mt 8:6; 17:15His fame went throughout all Syria. And they brought to Him all sick people who were taken with various diseases and tormented with pain, those who were possessed with demons, those who had seizures, and those who had paralysis, and He healed them. 25#Lk 6:17; Mk 5:20Great crowds followed Him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

Heb 2.18; 4.15. Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward ahungered. 3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4#Deut 8.3. But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6#Ps 91.11; Ps 91.12. and saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written,
He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:
and in their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

Deut 6.16. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10#Deut 6.13. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God,
and him only shalt thou serve.
11Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

15 #
Isa 9.1,2. The land of Zeb´ulun, and the land of Naph´tali,
by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles;
16the people which sat in darkness saw great light;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death
light is sprung up.
