¹ Then Jesus was led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward was hungry.³ And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, say that these stones may become bread.⁴ But 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.⁵ Then the devil takes him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,⁶ and says to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning you: and, On their hands they shall bear you up, Lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.⁷ Jesus said to him, Again it is written, You shall not make trial of the Lord your God.⁸ Again, the devil takes him to an exceeding high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;⁹ and he said to him, All these things I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.¹⁰ Then Jesus says to him, Go, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve only him.¹¹ Then the devil leaves him; and look, angels came and were serving him.

¹² Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;¹³ and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:¹⁴ that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,¹⁵ The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,¹⁶ The people that sat in darkness Saw a great light, And to those that sat in the region and shadow of death, To them light sprung up.¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

¹⁸ And walking by the 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 fishers.¹⁹ And he says to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.²⁰ And they immediately left the nets, and followed him.²¹ And 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.²² And they immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.

²³ And he went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of disease and all manner of sickness among the people.²⁴ And the report of him went forth into all Syria: and they brought to him all that were sick, held with diverse diseases and torments, and possessed with demons, and epileptic, and palsied; and he healed them.²⁵ And great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and [from] beyond the Jordan followed him.
