Matthäus 4

1Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.

2And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.

3And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

4Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.

5Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,

6And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,

9And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.

10Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.

11Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.

12And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:

13And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;

14That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:

15Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

16The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.

17From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

18And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).

19And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.

20And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.

21And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets: and he called them.

22And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.

23And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom: and healing all manner of sickness and every infirmity, among the people.

24And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had palsy, and he cured them:

25And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

1Tunc Jesus ductus est in desertum a Spiritu, ut tentaretur a diabolo.

2Et cum jejunasset quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit.

3Et accedens tentator dixit ei: Si Filius Dei es, dic ut lapides isti panes fiant.

4Qui respondens dixit: Scriptum est: Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei.

5Tunc assumpsit eum diabolus in sanctam civitatem, et statuit eum super pinnaculum templi,

6et dixit ei: Si Filius Dei es, mitte te deorsum. Scriptum est enim: Quia angelis suis mandavit de te, et in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.

7Ait illi Jesus: Rursum scriptum est: Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum.

8Iterum assumpsit eum diabolus in montem excelsum valde: et ostendit ei omnia regna mundi, et gloriam eorum,

9et dixit ei: Hæc omnia tibi dabo, si cadens adoraveris me.

10Tunc dicit ei Jesus: Vade Satana: Scriptum est enim: Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies.

11Tunc reliquit eum diabolus: et ecce angeli accesserunt, et ministrabant ei.

12Cum autem audisset Jesus quod Joannes traditus esset, secessit in Galilæam:

13et, relicta civitate Nazareth, venit, et habitavit in Capharnaum maritima, in finibus Zabulon et Nephthalim:

14ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam:

15[Terra Zabulon, et terra Nephthalim, via maris trans Jordanem, Galilæa gentium:

16populus, qui sedebat in tenebris, vidit lucem magnam: et sedentibus in regione umbræ mortis, lux orta est eis.]

17Exinde cœpit Jesus prædicare, et dicere: Pœnitentiam agite: appropinquavit enim regnum cælorum.

18Ambulans autem Jesus juxta mare Galilææ, vidit duos fratres, Simonem, qui vocatur Petrus, et Andream fratrem ejus, mittentes rete in mare (erant enim piscatores),

19et ait illis: Venite post me, et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum.

20At illi continuo relictis retibus secuti sunt eum.

21Et procedens inde, vidit alios duos fratres, Jacobum Zebedæi, et Joannem fratrem ejus, in navi cum Zebedæo patre eorum, reficientes retia sua: et vocavit eos.

22Illi autem statim relictis retibus et patre, secuti sunt eum.

23Et circuibat Jesus totam Galilæam, docens in synagogis eorum, et prædicans Evangelium regni: et sanans omnem languorem, et omnem infirmitatem in populo.

24Et abiit opinio ejus in totam Syriam, et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes, variis languoribus, et tormentis comprehensos, et qui dæmonia habebant, et lunaticos, et paralyticos, et curavit eos:

25et secutæ sunt eum turbæ multæ de Galilæa, et Decapoli, et de Jerosolymis, et de Judæa, et de trans Jordanem.

1Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert, in order to be tempted by the devil.

2And when he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.

3And approaching, the tempter said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4And in response he said, “It has been written: ‘Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

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

6and said to him: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: ‘For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.’ ”

7Jesus said to him, “Again, it has been written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

8Again, the devil took him up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

9and said to him, “All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me.”

10Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan. For it has been written: ‘You shall adore the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’ ”

11Then the devil left him. And behold, Angels approached and ministered to him.

12And when Jesus had heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee.

13And leaving behind the city of Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, near the sea, at the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali,

14in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

15“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

16A people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light. And unto those sitting in the region of the shadow of death, a light has risen.”

17From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say: “Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near.”

18And Jesus, walking near the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon who is called Peter, and his brother Andrew, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishermen).

19And he said to them: “Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

20And at once, leaving behind their nets, they followed him.

21And continuing on from there, he saw another two brothers, James of Zebedee, and his brother John, in a ship with their father Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them.

22And immediately, leaving their nets and their father behind, they followed him.

23And Jesus traveled throughout all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the Gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every infirmity among the people.

24And reports of him went out to all of Syria, and they brought to him all those who had maladies, those who were in the grasp of various sicknesses and torments, and those who were in the hold of demons, and the mentally ill, and paralytics. And he cured them.

25And a great crowd followed him from Galilee, and from the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from across the Jordan.
