Mattityahu (Mat) 4
4
1Then the Spirit led Yeshua up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Adversary. 2After Yeshua had fasted forty days and nights, he was hungry. 3The Tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order these stones to become bread.” 4But he answered, “The Tanakh says,
‘Man does not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of Adonai’”
5Then the Adversary took him to the holy city and set him on the highest point of the Temple. 6“If you are the Son of God,” he said, “jump! For the Tanakh says,
‘He will order his angels to be responsible for you. . . .
They will support you with their hands,
so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.’”
7Yeshua replied to him, “But it also says, ‘Do not put Adonai your God to the test.’”
8Once more, the Adversary took him up to the summit of a very high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory, 9and said to him, “All this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me.” 10“Away with you, Satan!” Yeshua told him, “For the Tanakh says,
‘Worship Adonai your God, and serve only him.’”
11Then the Adversary let him alone, and angels came and took care of him.
12When Yeshua heard that Yochanan had been put in prison, he returned to the Galil; 13but he left Natzeret and came to live in K’far-Nachum, a lake shore town near the boundary between Z’vulun and Naftali. 14This happened in order to fulfill what Yesha‘yahu the prophet had said,
15“Land of Z’vulun and land of Naftali,
toward the lake, beyond the Yarden, Galil-of-the-Goyim —
16the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
upon those living in the region, in the shadow of death,
light has dawned.”
17From that time on, Yeshua began proclaiming, “Turn from your sins to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!”
18As Yeshua walked by Lake Kinneret, he saw two brothers who were fishermen — Shim‘on, known as Kefa, and his brother Andrew — throwing their net into the lake. 19Yeshua said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men!” 20At once they left their nets and went with him.
21Going on from there, he saw two other brothers — Ya’akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan his brother — in the boat with their father Zavdai, repairing their nets; and he called them. 22At once they left the boat and their father and went with Yeshua.
23Yeshua went all over the Galil teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing people from every kind of disease and sickness. 24Word of him spread throughout all Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill, suffering from various diseases and pains, and those held in the power of demons, and epileptics and paralytics; and he healed them. 25Huge crowds followed him from the Galil, the Ten Towns, Yerushalayim, Y’hudah, and ‘Ever-HaYarden.

Matthew 4
1¶ Then Jesus was led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
3And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones be made into bread.
4But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
5Then the devil took him up into the holy city and set him on a pinnacle of the temple
6and said unto him, If thou art 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.
7Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8Again, the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them
9and said unto him, All these things I will give thee if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10Then Jesus said 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 left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12¶ Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he returned to Galilee;
13and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15The land of Zebulun, and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16the people who sat in darkness saw great light, and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light is sprung up.
17From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand.
18¶ And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon, called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishers.
19And he said 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 there, he saw another two brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them.
22And they immediately left the ship and their father and followed him.
23¶ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom and healing every sickness and every bodily weakness among the people.
24And his fame went throughout all Syria; and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with diverse diseases and torments and those who were possessed with devils and those who were lunatic and those that were paralyzed; and he healed them.
25And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, from Decapolis, from Jerusalem, from Judaea and from beyond Jordan.
