Matthew 4:6-16

6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: He will give His angels orders concerning you , and, they will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone. "^[a]

7 Jesus told him, "It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God. " ^[b]

8 Again, the Devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9 And he said to Him, "I will give You all these things if You will fall down and worship me."^[c]

10 Then Jesus told him, "Go away, ^[d] Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only Him. " ^[e]

11 Then the Devil left Him, and immediately angels came and began to serve Him.

Ministry in Galilee

12 When He heard that John had been arrested, He withdrew into Galilee.

13 He left Nazareth behind and went to live in Capernaum by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah:

15 Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, along the sea road, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles!

16 The people who live in darkness have seen a great light, and for those living in the shadowland of death, light has dawned. ^{[f] [g]}
