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.

Matthew 4
4
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, in order to be tempted by the devil.
2 And when he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
3 And approaching, the tempter said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
4 And in response he said, "It has been written: 'Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' "
5 Then the devil took him up, into the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 and said to him: "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: 'For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.' "
7 Jesus said to him, "Again, it has been written: 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.' "
8 Again, the devil took him up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,
9 and said to him, "All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me."
10 Then Jesus said to him: "Go away, Satan. For it has been written: 'You shall adore the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.' "
11 Then the devil left him. And behold, Angels approached and ministered to him.
12 And when Jesus had heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee.
13 And leaving behind the city of Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, near the sea, at the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali,
14 in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:
15 "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 A people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light. And unto those sitting in the region of the shadow of death, a light has risen."
17 From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say: "Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near."
18 And Jesus, walking near the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).
19 And he said to them: "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."
20 And at once, leaving behind their nets, they followed him.
21 And continuing on from there, he saw another two brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in a ship with their father Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them.
22 And immediately, leaving their nets and their father behind, they followed him.
23 And Jesus traveled throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people.
24 And reports of him went out to all of Syria, and they brought to him all those who had maladies, those who were in the grasp of various sicknesses and torments, and those who were in the hold of demons, and the mentally ill, and paralytics. And he cured them.
25 And a great crowd followed him from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from across the Jordan.
