## Text

[1] Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. [2] After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. [3] The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” [4] But Jesus answered, “It is written:
‘Man shall not live on bread alone,
but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’” [5] Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. [6] “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written:
‘He will command His angels concerning You,
and they will lift You up in their hands,
so that You will not strike Your foot
against a stone.’” [7] Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’” [8] Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. [9] “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.” [10] “Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus declared. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’” [11] Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him. [12] When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee. [13] Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, [14] to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: [15] “Land of Zebulun
and land of Naphtali,
the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles— [16] the people living in darkness
have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death,
a light has dawned.” [17] From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.” [18] As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. [19] “Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.” [20] And at once they left their nets and followed Him. [21] Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets. Jesus called them, [22] and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him. [23] Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. [24] News about Him spread all over Syria, and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering acute pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed—and He healed them. [25] The large crowds that followed Him came from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
