Matthew - ch 4 v 1 - 20
- Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.
- And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.
- And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.
- But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.
- Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,
- If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
- Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
- Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
- And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.
- Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only.
- Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.
- Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;
- And going away from Nazareth, he came and made his living-place in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali:
- So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,
- The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
- The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.
- From that time Jesus went about preaching and saying, Let your hearts be turned from sin, for the kingdom of heaven is near.
- And when he was walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon, whose other name was Peter, and Andrew, his brother, who were putting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
- And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.
- And straight away they let go the nets and went after him.
