6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, '1HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU'; and 'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.' "
7 Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, '2YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.' "
8 3Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;
9 and he said to Him, "4All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me."
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written, '5YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.' "
11 Then the devil left Him; and behold, 6angels came and began to minister to Him.

Jesus Begins His Ministry

12 Now when Jesus heard that 7John had been taken into custody, 8He withdrew into Galilee;
13 and leaving Nazareth, He came and 9settled in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.
14 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
15 "10THE LAND OF ZEBULUN AND THE LAND OF NAPHTALI, BY THE WAY OF THE SEA, BEYOND THE JORDAN, GALILEE OF THE GENTILES -
16 "11THE PEOPLE WHO WERE SITTING IN DARKNESS SAW A GREAT LIGHT, AND THOSE WHO WERE SITTING IN THE LAND AND SHADOW OF DEATH, UPON THEM A LIGHT DAWNED."
