1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
3The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.”
4But Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.'”
5Then the devil took him into the holy city and set him on the highest point of the temple building,
6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will command his angels to take care of you,' and, 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not hit your foot against a stone.'”
7Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, 'You must not test the Lord your God.'”
8Again, the devil took him up to a very high hill and showed him all the kingdoms of the world along with all their splendor.
9He said to him, “All these things I will give you, if you fall down and worship me.”
10Then Jesus said to him, “Go away from here, Satan! For it is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve only him.'”
11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.
12Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he withdrew into Galilee.
13He left Nazareth and went and lived in Capernaum, which is by the Sea of Galilee, in the territories of Zebulun and Naphtali.
14This happened to fulfill what was said by Isaiah the prophet,
15“The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, toward the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles!
16The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light, and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, upon them has a light arisen.”
17From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
18As he was 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.

19Jesus said to them, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
20Immediately they left the nets and followed him.
21As Jesus was going on from there he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee, and John his brother. They were in the boat with Zebedee their father mending their nets. He called them,
22and they immediately left the boat and their father and followed him.
23Jesus went about in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and sickness among the people.
24The news about him went out into all of Syria, and the people brought to him all those who were sick, ill with various diseases and pains, those possessed by demons, and the epileptic and paralytic. Jesus healed them.
25Large crowds followed him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, and Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
