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

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted#4:1 The Greek for tempted can also mean tested. by the devil. 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’#4:4 Deut. 8:3”
5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:
“ ‘He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’#4:6 Psalm 91:11,12”
7Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’#4:7 Deut. 6:16”
8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9“All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”
10Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’#4:10 Deut. 6:13”
11Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
Jesus Begins to Preach
12When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee. 13Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali — 14to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles —
16the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.”#4:16 Isaiah 9:1,2
17From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
Jesus Calls His First Disciples
18As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19“Come, follow me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20At once they left their nets and followed him.
21Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
Jesus Heals the Sick
23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. 25Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,#4:25 That is, the Ten Cities Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.
