4After this, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.G5119G2424G321G5259G4151G1519G2048G3985G5259G12282After fasting for 40 days and 40 nights, he finally became hungry.G2532G3522G5062G2250G2532G5062G3571G5305G39833Then the tempter came. "Since you are the Son of God," he said, "tell these stones to become loaves of bread."G2532G3985G4334G846G2036G1487G1488G5207G2316G2036G2443G3778G3037G1096G7404But he answered, "It is written, 'One must not live on bread alone, but on every word coming out of the mouth of God.'"G1161G611G2036G1125G444G2198G3756G2198G1909G740G3441G235G1909G3956G4487G1607G1223G4750G23165Then the devil took him to the Holy City and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.G5119G1228G3880G846G3880G1519G40G4172G2532G2476G846G1909G4419G24116He said to 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.'"G2532G3004G846G1487G1488G5207G2316G906G4572G2736G1063G1125G3754G1781G846G32G1781G4012G4675G2532G1909G5495G142G4571G142G3379G4350G4675G4228G4314G30377Jesus responded to him, "It is also written, 'You must not tempt the Lord your God.'"G2424G5346G846G1125G3825G1598G3756G1598G2962G4675G23168Once more the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, along with their splendor.G3825G1228G3880G846G3880G1519G3029G5308G3735G2532G1166G846G3956G932G2889G2532G1391G8469He said to Jesus, "I will give you all these things if you will bow down and worship me!"G2532G3004G846G3956G5023G1325G4671G1437G4098G4352G342710Then Jesus said to him, "Go away, Satan! Because it is written, 'You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'"G5119G3004G2424G846G5217G4567G1063G1125G4352G2962G4675G2316G2532G846G3441G300011So the devil left him, and angels came and began ministering to him.G5119G1228G863G846G2532G2400G32G4334G2532G1247G84612Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he went back to Galilee.G1161G2424G191G3754G2491G3860G402G1519G105613He left Nazareth and went and settled in Capernaum by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,G2532G2641G3478G2064G2730G1519G2584G3588G3864G1722G3725G2194G2532G350814in order to fulfill what was declared by the prophet Isaiah when he said,G2443G4137G3588G4483G1223G2268G4396G300415"O Land of Zebulun and Land of Naphtali, on the road to the sea, across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles!G1093G2194G2532G1093G3508G3598G2281G4008G2446G1056G148416The people living in darkness have seen a great light, and for those living in the land and shadow of death, a light has risen."G2992G3588G2521G1722G4655G1492G3173G5457G2532G3588G2521G1722G5561G2532G4639G2288G5457G393G84617From then on, Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near!"G575G5119G2424G756G2784G2532G3004G3340G1063G932G3772G144818While Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers - Simon (also called Peter) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, because they were fishermen.G1161G2424G4043G3844G2281G1056G1492G1417G80G4613G3004G4074G2532G406G846G80G906G293G1519G2281G1063G2258G23119"Follow me," he told them, "and I will make you fishers of people!"G2532G3004G846G1205G3694G3450G2532G4160G5209G231G44420So at once they left their nets and followed him.G1161G2112G863G1350G190G84621Going 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 repairing their nets. When he called them,G2532G4260G1564G1492G243G1417G80G2385G3588G2199G2532G2491G846G80G1722G4143G3326G2199G846G3962G2675G846G1350G2532G2564G84622they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.18G1161G2112G863G4143G2532G846G3962G190G84623Then he went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness among the people.G2532G2424G4013G3650G1056G1321G1722G846G4864G2532G2784G2098G932G2532G2323G3956G3554G2532G3956G3119G1722G299224His fame spread throughout Syria, and people brought to him everyone who was sick - those afflicted with various diseases and pains, the demon-possessed, the epileptics, and the paralyzed - and he healed them.G2532G846G189G565G1519G3650G4947G2532G4374G846G3956G2560G2192G4912G4164G3554G2532G931G2532G1139G2532G4583G2532G3885G2532G2323G84625Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan followed him.4G2532G190G846G4183G3793G575G1056G2532G1179G2532G2414G2532G2449G2532G4008G2446
