King James Version KJV
1 Then the Spirit led Yeshua up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Adversary.
1
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 After Yeshua had fasted forty days and nights, he was hungry.
2
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 The Tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, order these stones to become bread."
3
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he answered, "The Tanakh says, `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of ADONAI'"
4
But he answered and said,It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the Adversary took him to the holy city and set him on the highest point of the Temple.
5
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "jump! For the Tanakh says, `He will order his angels to be responsible for you. . . . They will support you with their hands, so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.'"
6
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Yeshua replied to him, "But it also says, `Do not put ADONAI your God to the test.'"h
7
Jesus said unto him,It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Once more, the Adversary took him up to the summit of a very high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory,
8
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 and said to him, "All this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me."
9
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 "Away with you, Satan!" Yeshua told him, "For the Tanakh says, `Worship ADONAI your God, and serve only him.'"
10
Then saith Jesus unto him,Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the Adversary let him alone, and angels came and took care of him.
11
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 When Yeshua heard that Yochanan had been put in prison, he returned to the Galil;
12
Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 but he left Natzeret and came to live in K'far-Nachum, a lake shore town near the boundary between Z'vulun and Naftali.
13
And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 This happened in order to fulfill what Yesha`yahu the prophet had said,
14
That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 "Land of Z'vulun and land of Naftali, toward the lake, beyond the Yarden, Galil-of-the-Goyim --
15
The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; upon those living in the region, in the shadow of death, light has dawned."
16
The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 From that time on, Yeshua began proclaiming, "Turn from your sins to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near!"
17
From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say,Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 As Yeshua walked by Lake Kinneret, he saw two brothers who were fishermen -- Shim`on, known as Kefa, and his brother Andrew -- throwing their net into the lake.
18
And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 Yeshua said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers for men!"
19
And he saith unto them,Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 At once they left their nets and went with him.
20
And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers -- Ya'akov Ben-Zavdai and Yochanan his brother -- in the boat with their father Zavdai, repairing their nets; and he called them.
21
And 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.
22 At once they left the boat and their father and went with Yeshua.
22
And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
23 Yeshua went all over the Galil teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing people from every kind of disease and sickness.
23
And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 Word of him spread throughout all Syria, and people brought to him all who were ill, suffering from various diseases and pains, and those held in the power of demons, and epileptics and paralytics; and he healed them.
24
And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 Huge crowds followed him from the Galil, the Ten Towns, Yerushalayim, Y'hudah, and `Ever-HaYarden.
25
And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
