Mattityahu 4

1Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was led up into the midbar by the Ruach Hakodesh of Hashem to undergo nisyonos (temptations) by HaSatan.
2And, having undergone a tzom (fast) for arba'im yom varbaim lailah (forty days and forty nights), afterward Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was famished.
3And the tempter came to him and said to him, If you are the Ben HaElohim, then speak the command that these avanim (stones) become lechem (bread).
4But Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach answered, Katuv (It is written), LO AL HALECHEM LVADOH YCHEYEH HAADAM, KI AL KOL MOTZAH FI HASHEM#4:4 Dt 8:3 (Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of Hashem).
5Then HaSatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to the Ir Hakodesh (the Holy City) and sets him atop the pinnacle of the Beis Hamikdash,
6and says to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, If you are the Ben HaElohim, then throw yourself down, for katuv (it is written), MALACHAV YTZAV-VEH LACH (His angels he will command concerning you) and upon their hands they will lift you up lest you strike your foot against a stone, (Ps 91:11,12.)
7Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach said to HaSatan, Again, it is written, LO TENASSU ES HASHEM ELOHEICHEM#4:7 Dt 6:16 (Do not test Hashem your G-d).
8Again, HaSatan takes Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach to a very high mountain and shows him all the mamlechot (kingdoms) of the Olam Hazeh and the kavod (glory) of them.
9And HaSatan said to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach, All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down VTISHTACHAVEH (and you will bow down to)#4:9 Dt 5:9 me.
10Then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to him, Depart, HaSatan! For katuv (it is written), ES HASHEM ELOHEICHA TIRA VOTO TAAVOD#4:10 Dt 6:13 (The L-rd your G-d you shall fear and Him you shall worship).
11Then HaSatan leaves him, and, hinei, malachim came and attended to Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
12Now, having heard that Yochanan was arrested, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach departed into the Galil.
13And having left behind Natzeret, Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach headquartered in K'far-Nachum by the sea, in the environs of Zevulun and Naphtali.
14This was to fulfill what was spoken through Yeshayah HaNavi,
15ARTZAH Zevulun VARTZAH Naphtali (To the land of Zevulun and to the land of Naphtali),#4:15 Isa 9:1-2 [8:23—9:1] the way to the sea beyond the Yarden, Galil HaGoyim,
16the people sitting in CHOSHECH RAU OHR GADOL (darkness saw a great light), YOSHVEI V'ERETZ TZALMAVET (the ones living in the land of the shadow of death), a light has dawned among them.
17From then Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach began to proclaim, saying, LAlter LiTeshuvah (Immediate Repentance), for the Malchut HaShomayim has come near.
18And walking beside Sea of Galilee (Lake Kinneret), Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach saw two achim, Shim'on, the one being called Kefa (Petros), and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea, for they were daiyagim (fishermen).
19And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says, Come, follow me, and I will make you daiyagei adam (fishers of men).
20And immediately, leaving their nets, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.
21And having gone on from there, he saw two other achim, Ya'akov Ben Zavdai and Yochanan his brother, in the sirah (boat) with Zavdai their father, repairing their nets, and he summoned them.
22Immediately, leaving the sirah (boat) and their father, they followed Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach.#4:22 Mt 19:29
23And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about in all the Galil, exercising the ministry of moreh (teacher) in their shuls and of darshan (preacher) of the Besuroh Tovoh (Good Tiding of a Joyous Event), the Besuras HaGeulah (the Good News of Redemption) of the Malchut Hashem, and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach went about bringing refuah (healing) to every disease and every illness of the people.
24And the report went out about Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach throughout all Syria; and they brought to him all the cholim (sick) with various illnesses and machalot, demoniacs, epileptics, and paralytics; and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach brought them refuah.
25And from the Galil, the Decapolis, Yerushalayim, Yehudah, and Ever-HaYarden, from all these places great multitudes followed him.

Matthew 4
4
1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and nights, he was hungry. 3The tempter came and said to him, “If you really are the Son of God, order these stones to turn into bread.”
4Jesus answered, “As Scripture says, ‘Human beings do not live by only eating bread, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”#4:4. Quoting Deuteronomy 8:3.
5Then the devil took him to the holy city#4:5. Referring to Jerusalem. and placed him on the top of the Temple.
6“If you really are the son of God, then throw yourself off,” he told Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘He will order his angels to save you from harm. They will catch you so that you won't fall by tripping over a stone.’”#4:6. Quoting Psalms 91:11-12.
7Jesus answered, “As Scripture also says, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”#4:7. Quoting Deuteronomy 6:16.
8Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory. 9He said to Jesus, “I will give you all these if you fall down on your knees and worship me.”
10“Go away, Satan!” said Jesus. “As Scripture says, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and serve him, and him alone.’”#4:10. Quoting Deuteronomy 6:13. 11Then the devil left him, and angels came to care for him.
12When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he returned to Galilee. 13Leaving Nazareth, he came to stay in Capernaum, on the shores of the sea in the regions of Zebulun and Naphthali. 14This fulfilled what Isaiah the prophet said, 15“In the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphthali, on the road to the sea, across the Jordan River, in Galilee where the foreigners live: 16The people living in darkness saw a great light; the light of dawn has shined on those living in the land of the shadow of death.”#4:16. Quoting Isaiah 9:1-2. 17From that time on Jesus began declaring his message, saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has arrived!”
18As he was walking by the Sea of Galilee Jesus saw two brothers. Simon, also called Peter, and his brother Andrew, were casting a net in the sea. They made their living by catching fish.
19“Come and follow me, and I will teach you how to catch people,” he told them. 20They left their nets immediately and followed him. 21Continuing on he saw two other brothers, James and John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. He called them to follow him.#4:21. “To follow him,” implied. 22They left the boat and their father immediately, and followed him.
23Jesus traveled throughout Galilee, teaching in the synagogues, telling the good news of the kingdom, and healing all the diseases and illnesses the people had. 24News about him spread throughout the province of Syria.#4:24. The area to the north of Galilee. They brought everyone who was sick to him: people troubled by seizures, the demon-possessed, those who were mentally ill, people who were paralyzed, and he healed all of them. 25Large crowds followed him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and the region beyond Jordan.
