The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.

6
English · Berean Standard Bible

“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.’”

Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

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
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

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

When Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He withdrew to Galilee.

13
English · Berean Standard Bible

Leaving Nazareth, He went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14
English · Berean Standard Bible

to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

15
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles—

16
English · Berean Standard Bible

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
English · Berean Standard Bible

From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.”

18
English · Berean Standard Bible

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
English · Berean Standard Bible

“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will make you fishers of men.”

20
English · Berean Standard Bible

And at once they left their nets and followed Him.

21
English · Berean Standard Bible

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
English · Berean Standard Bible

and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed Him.

23
English · Berean Standard Bible

Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people.

24
English · Berean Standard Bible

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
English · Berean Standard Bible

Large crowds followed Him, having come from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
