The Gospel of Matthew
Chapter 4


MATTHEW
Chapter 4


1 Then was Jesus 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 hungered.
3 And the tempter came
and said unto him, If thou art
the Son of God, command
that these stones become
bread.
4 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.
5 Then the devil taketh him
into the holy city; and he set
him on the pinnacle of the
temple,
6 and saith 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,
On their hands they shall
bear thee up, lest haply thou
dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said unto him, Again
it is written, Thou shalt not
make trial of the Lord thy
God.
8 Again, the devil taketh him
unto an exceeding high
mountain, and showeth him
all the kingdoms of the
world, and the glory of them;
9 and he said unto him, All
these things will I give thee, if
thou wilt fall down and
worship me.
10 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.
11 Then the devil leaveth
him; and behold, angels
came and ministered unto
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 them that sat in the
region and shadow of death,
to them did light spring up.


17 From that time began
Jesus to preach, and to say,
Repent ye; for the kingdom
of heaven is at hand.







18 And walking by the sea
of Galilee, he saw two
brethren, Simon who is
called Peter, and Andrew his
brother, casting a net into the
sea; for they were fishers.
19 And he saith unto them,
Come ye after me, and I will
make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left
the nets, and followed him.
21 And going on from
thence he saw two other
brethren, 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 straightway left
the boat and their father, and
followed him.



































23 And Jesus 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 unto him all that
were sick, holden with divers
diseases and torments,
possessed with demons, and
epileptic, and palsied; and he
healed them.


25 And there followed him
great multitudes from Galilee
and Decapolis and Jerusalem
and Judaea and from beyond
the Jordan.












MARK



Mark 1:12 And straightway
the Spirit driveth him forth
into the wilderness.
Mark 1:13 And he was in
the wilderness forty days
tempted of Satan; And he
was with the wild beasts;
And the angels ministered
unto him.






















































Mark 1:14 Now after John
was delivered up, Jesus
came into Galilee, preaching
the gospel of God,




Mark 1:21 And they go into
Capernaum; and straightway
on the sabbath day he
entered into the synagogue
and taught.

















Mark 1:14 Now after John
was delivered up, Jesus
came into Galilee, preaching
the gospel of God,
Mark 1:15 and saying, The
time is fulfilled, and the
kingdom of God is at hand:
repent ye, and believe in the
gospel.


Mark 1:16 And passing
along by the sea of Galilee,
he saw Simon and Andrew
the brother of Simon casting
a net in the sea; for they
were fishers.
Mark 1:17 And Jesus said
unto them, Come ye after
me, and I will make you to
become fishers of men.
Mark 1:18 And straightway
they left the nets, and
followed him.
Mark 1:19 And going on a
little further, he saw James
the son of Zebedee, and
John his brother, who also
were in the boat mending the
nets.
Mark 1:20 And straightway
he called them: and they left
their father Zebedee in the
boat with the hired servants,
and went after him.
































Mark 1:39 And he went
into their synagogues
throughout all Galilee,
preaching and casting out
demons.
















Mark 3:7 And Jesus with
his disciples withdrew to the
sea: and a great multitude
from Galilee followed; and
from Judaea,
Mark 3:8 and from
Jerusalem, and from
Idumaea, and beyond the
Jordan, and about Tyre and
Sidon, a great multitude,
hearing what great things he
did, came unto him.

the Holy Spirit, returned

out of them, and were

nothing: but at thy word I will
let down the nets.

had done this, they inclosed
a great multitude of fishes;

with him, at the draught of
the fishes which they had
