Matthew 4 (WEBP)

[1] Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
[2] When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
[3] The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
[4] But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’ ”
[5] Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
[6] and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
[7] Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’ ”
[8] Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
[9] He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
[10] Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’ ”
[11] Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
[12] Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.
[13] Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
[14] that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
[15] “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
[16] the people who sat in darkness saw a great light; to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”
[17] From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
[18] Walking by the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
[19] He said to them, “Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men.”
[20] They immediately left their nets and followed him.
[21] Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them.
[22] They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed him.
[23] Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.
[24] The report about him went out into all Syria. They brought to him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and he healed them.
[25] Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed him.

Young’s Literal Translation

Matthew 4 (YLT)

[1] Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,
[2] and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.
[3] And the Tempter having come to him said, ‘If Son thou art of God-speak that these stones may become loaves.’
[4] But he answering said, ‘It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.’
[5] Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
[6] and saith to him, ‘If Son thou art of God-cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.’
[7] Jesus said to him again, ‘It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’
[8] Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,
[9] and saith to him, ‘All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.’
[10] Then saith Jesus to him, ‘Go-Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.’
[11] Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
[12] And Jesus having heard that John was delivered up, did withdraw to Galilee,
[13] and having left Nazareth, having come, he dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtalim,
[14] that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
[15] ‘Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!-
[16] the people that is sitting in darkness saw a great light, and to those sitting in a region and shadow of death-light arose to them.’
[17] From that time began Jesus to proclaim and to say, ‘Reform ye, for come nigh hath the reign of the heavens.’
[18] And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon named Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a drag into the sea-for they were fishers-
[19] and he saith to them, ‘Come ye after me, and I will make you fishers of men,’
[20] and they, immediately, having left the nets, did follow him.
[21] And having advanced thence, he saw other two brothers, James of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, refitting their nets, and he called them,
[22] and they, immediately, having left the boat and their father, did follow him.
[23] And Jesus was going about all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, and proclaiming the good news of the reign, and healing every disease, and every malady among the people,
[24] and his fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to him all having ailments, pressed with manifold sicknesses and pains, and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics, and he healed them.
[25] And there followed him many multitudes from Galilee, and Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.
