2And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

2After fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, he finally became hungry.

3Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

3Then the tempter came. "Since you are the Son of God," he said, "tell these stones to become loaves of bread."

4But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

4But he answered, "It is written, 'One must not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out of the mouth of God.'"

5Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

5Then the devil took him to the Holy City and had him stand on the highest point of the Temple.

6and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

6He told Jesus, "Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, because it is written, 'God will put his angels in charge of you,' and, 'With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.'"

7Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’ ”

7Jesus responded to him, "It is also written, 'You must not tempt the Lord your God.'"

8Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

8Once more the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, along with their splendor.

9And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

9He told Jesus, "I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!"

10Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

10Then Jesus told him, "Go away, Satan! Because it is written, 'You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'"

11Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.

11So the devil left him, and angels came and began ministering to him.

13And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

13He left Nazareth and settled in Capernaum by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:

14in order to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said,

15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

15"O Land of Zebulun and Land of Naphtali, on the road to the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the unbelievers!

16The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death Light has dawned.”
