The Temptation of Jesus
1Then # Mk 1:12-13; Lk 4:1-13 Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. # Jos 15:61; Jdg 1:16; Jn 1:6-7; Jms 1:14 2After He had fasted 40 days and 40 nights, # Ex 34:28; 1Kg 19:8; Jn 9:4 He was hungry. 3Then the tempter approached Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” # Mk 3:11; 5:7; Lk 1:35; 4:41; Jn 1:34,49; Ac 9:20
4But He answered, “It is written:
Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.” # Dt 8:3 # Dt 8:3
5Then the Devil took Him to the holy city, # = Jerusalem had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, # Neh 11:1,18; Dn 9:24; Mt 27:53 6and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
He will give His angels # Gn 16:7; Mt 13:49; Lk 1:11; Ac 5:19; Rv 14:6 orders concerning you,
and they will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.” # Ps 91:11-12; 1Pt 2:8 # Ps 91:11-12
7Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.” # Dt 6:16; 1Sm 7:3; 1Ch 21:1 # Dt 6:16
8Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9And he said to Him, “I will give You all these things if You will fall down and worship me.” # Or and pay me homage
10Then Jesus told him, “Go away, # Other mss read Get behind Me Satan! For it is written:
Worship the Lord your God,
and serve only # Dt 6:13; 1Ch 21:1 Him.” # Dt 6:13
11Then the Devil left Him, and immediately angels came and began to serve Him. # Mt 26:53; Lk 22:43; Heb 1:14
Ministry in Galilee
12When He heard that John had been arrested, # Mt 14:3; Mk 1:14; Lk 3:20; Jn 3:24 He withdrew into Galilee. # Lk 4:14; Jn 1:43; 2:11 13He left Nazareth behind and went to live in Capernaum # Mk 1:21; 2:1; Lk 4:23; Jn 2:12; 4:46 by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. 14This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:
15Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
along the sea road, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles!
16The people who live in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those living in the shadowland of death,
light has dawned. # Lit dawned on them # Is 9:1-2; 42:7; Lk 2:32 # Is 9:1-2
17From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven # Mt 3:2; 5:3,10,19-20; 7:21; 8:11; Mk 1:14 has come near! ”
The First Disciples
18As # Mk 1:16-20; Lk 5:2-11; Jn 1:40-42 He was walking along the Sea of Galilee, # Mt 15:29; Mk 7:31; Lk 5:1; Jn 6:1 He saw two brothers, Simon, who was called Peter, and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, since they were fishermen. 19“Follow Me,” He told them, “and I will make you fish for # Lit you fishers of people! ” 20Immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
21Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and his brother John. They were in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them. 22Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.
Teaching, Preaching, and Healing
23Jesus was going all over Galilee, # Mk 1:35-39; Lk 4:42-44 teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every # Or every kind of disease and sickness among the people. # Mt 13:54; 24:14; Ac 10:38 24Then the news about Him spread throughout Syria. # Lk 2:2; Ac 15:23; Gl 1:21 So they brought to Him all those who were afflicted, those suffering from various diseases and intense pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralytics. # Mt 8:16; 9:32; Mk 5:15; Jn 10:21 And He healed them. 25Large crowds followed Him from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan. # Mk 3:7; 5:20; Lk 6:17

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.
7 #
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.

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.
