Mattithyahu (Matthew) 4
4
1Then יהושע was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tried by the devil.
2And after having fasted forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.
3And the trier came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of Elohim, command that these stones become bread.”
4But He answering, said, “It has been written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of יהוה.’ ”# Deu. 8:3
5Then the devil took Him up into the set-apart city, set Him on the edge of the Set-apart Place,
6and said to Him, “If You are the Son of Elohim, throw Yourself down. For it has been written, ‘He shall command His messengers concerning you,’# Psa. 91:11 and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, so that you do not dash your foot against a stone.’ ”# Psa. 91:12
7יהושע said to him, “It has also been written, ‘You shall not try יהוה your Elohim.’ ”# Deu. 6:16
8Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain, and showed Him all the reigns of the world, and their esteem,
9and said to Him, “All these I shall give You if You fall down and worship me.”
10Then יהושע said to him, “Go, Satan! For it has been written, ‘You shall worship יהוה your Elohim, and Him alone you shall serve.’ ”# Deu. 6:13
11Then the devil left Him, and see, messengers came and attended Him.
12And יהושע, having heard that Yoḥanan had been put in prison, withdrew into Galil.
13And leaving Natsareth, He came and dwelt in Kephar Naḥum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zeḇulun and Naphtali,
14to fill what was spoken by Yeshayahu the prophet, saying,
15“Land of Zeḇulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea, beyond the Yardĕn, Galil of the nations –
16the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, and upon those who sat in the land and shadow of death, light arose to them.”# Isa. 9:1, 2
17From that time יהושע began to proclaim and to say, “Repent, for the reign of the heavens has drawn near.”
18And יהושע, walking by the Sea of Galil, saw two brothers, Shim‛on called Kĕpha, and Andri his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.
19And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I shall make you fishers of men.”
20And immediately they left their nets and followed Him.
21And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, Ya‛aqoḇ the son of Zaḇdai, and Yoḥanan his brother, in the boat with Zaḇdai their father, mending their nets. And He called them,
22and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
23And יהושע went about all Galil, teaching in their congregations, and proclaiming the Good News of the reign, and healing every disease and every bodily weakness among the people.
24And news about Him went out into all Suria. And they brought to Him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and pains, and those who were demon-possessed, and epileptics, and paralytics. And He healed them.
25And large crowds – from Galil, and Dekapolis, and Yerushalayim, and Yehuḏah, and beyond the Yardĕn – followed Him.

The Temptation of Jesus
1 # For ver. 1-11, see Mark 1:12, 13; Luke 4:1-13 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness #[Heb. 2:18; 4:15]to be tempted by the devil. 2And after fasting #[Deut. 9:9, 18; 1 Kgs. 19:8] forty days and forty nights, he #[John 4:6, 7]was hungry. 3And #1 Thess. 3:5 the tempter came and said to him, “If you are #See ch. 14:33 the Son of God, command #[ch. 3:9]these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4But he answered, #ver. 7, 10; Eph. 6:17 “It is written,
# Cited from Deut. 8:3; [John 4:34] “‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 #
Luke 4:9 Then the devil took him to #ch. 27:53; Neh. 11:18; Isa. 48:2; 52:1; Rev. 11:2; [Ps. 46:4; 48:1; Rev. 21:2; 22:19]the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,
# Cited from Ps. 91:11, 12 “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
7Jesus said to him, “Again #ver. 4, 10 it is written, #Cited from Deut. 6:16 ‘You shall not #[Isa. 7:12]put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8#Luke 4:5Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, #See 1 Chr. 21:1 Satan! For #ver. 4, 7 it is written,
# Cited from Deut. 6:13 “‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and #
1 Sam. 7:3
him only shall you serve.’”
11Then the devil left him, and behold, #ch. 26:53; Luke 22:43angels came and were ministering to him.
Jesus Begins His Ministry
12Now when he heard that #ch. 14:3; Mark 1:14; Luke 3:19, 20; [John 3:24] John had been arrested, #Luke 4:14he withdrew into Galilee. 13And leaving #See ch. 2:23 Nazareth he went and lived in #[ch. 9:1] Capernaum by #John 6:1 the sea, in the territory of #Josh. 19:32-34Zebulun and Naphtali, 14#See ch. 1:22so that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
15 # Cited from Isa. 9:1, 2 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 #
Isa. 42:7; Luke 1:79 the people dwelling in darkness
have seen a great light,
and for those dwelling in the region and #Job 3:5; Ps. 23:4; Amos 5:8shadow of death,
on them a light has dawned.”
17 #
Mark 1:14 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, #ch. 3:2“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”#4:17 Or the kingdom of heaven has come near
Jesus Calls the First Disciples
18 # For ver. 18-22, see Mark 1:16-20; [Luke 5:2-11; John 1:40-42] While walking by #ver. 13the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon (who is called Peter) and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19And he said to them, “Follow me, and I will make you #ch. 13:47fishers of men.”#4:19 The Greek word anthropoi refers here to both men and women 20Immediately they left their nets and followed him. 21And going on from there he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and he called them. 22Immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.
