The Temptation of Jesus
(Mark 1.12,13; Luke 4.1-13)
1 #
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.

Matt 14.3; Mark 6.17; Luke 3.19,20. Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee; 13#John 2.12. and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Caper´na-um, which is upon the seacoast, in the borders of Zeb´ulun and Naph´tali: 14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
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.

Dan 2.44;
Matt 3.2. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
Jesus Calls Four Fishermen
(Mark 1.16-20; Luke 5.1-11)
18And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers. 19And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men. 20And they straightway left their nets, and followed him. 21And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zeb´edee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zeb´edee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. 22And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.

Matt 9.35; Mark 1.39. And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them. 25And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decap´olis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond Jordan.

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.
