Matthew:4
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil .
*
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights ,
he was afterward an hungered .
*
And when the tempter came to him ,
he said ,
If you be the Son of God ,
command that these stones be made bread .
*
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 .
*
Then the devil takes him up into the holy city ,
and sets him on a pinnacle of the temple ,
*
And said to him ,
If you be the Son of God ,
cast yourself down :
for it is written ,
He shall give his angels charge concerning you :
and in their hands they shall bear you up ,
lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone .
*
Jesus said to him ,
It is written again ,
You shall not tempt the Lord your God .
*
Again ,
the devil takes him up into an exceeding high mountain ,
and shows him all the kingdoms of the world ,
and the glory of them ;
*
And said to him ,
All these things will I give you ,
if you will fall down and worship me .
*
Then said Jesus to him ,
Get you hence ,
Satan :
for it is written ,
You shall worship the Lord your God ,
and him only shall you serve .
*
Then the devil leaves him ,
and ,
behold ,
angels came and ministered to him .
*
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison ,
he departed into Galilee ;
*
And leaving Nazareth ,
he came and dwelled in Capernaum ,
which is on the sea coast ,
in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim :
*
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet ,
saying ,
*
The land of Zabulon ,
and the land of Nephthalim ,
by the way of the sea ,
beyond Jordan ,
Galilee of the Gentiles ;
*
The people which sat in darkness saw great light ;
and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up .
*
From that time Jesus began to preach ,
and to say ,
Repent :
for the kingdom of heaven is at hand .
*
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 .
*
And he said to them ,
Follow me ,
and I will make you fishers of men .
*
And they straightway left their nets ,
and followed him .
*
And going on from there ,
he saw other 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 .
*
And they immediately left the ship and their father ,
and followed him .
*
And Jesus went about all Galilee ,
teaching in their synagogues ,
and preaching the gospel of the kingdom ,
and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people .
*
And his fame went throughout all Syria :
and they brought to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments ,
and those which were possessed with devils ,
and those which were lunatic ,
and those that had the palsy ;
and he healed them .
*
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee ,
and from Decapolis ,
and from Jerusalem ,
and from Judaea ,
and from beyond Jordan .
