| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'" |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me." |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'" |

| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he withdrew to Galilee. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali-- |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah: |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15"Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles-- |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16the 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[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17From that time on Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near." |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18As 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 lake, for they were fishermen. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will send you out to fish for people." |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20At once they left their nets and followed him. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Going 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, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24News about him spread all over Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed; and he healed them. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him. |
