Matthew - ch 4 v 1 - 20
- 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 afterward hungered.
- And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.
- 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.
- Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
- 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.
- Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.
- Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
- and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
- 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.
- Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
- Now when he heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee;
- and leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali:
- that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
- The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, Toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
- 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.
- From that time began Jesus to preach, and to say, Repent ye; for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
- 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.
- And he saith unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
- And they straightway left the nets, and followed him.
