Ko te pukapuka o te whakapapa o Ihu Karaiti, tama a Rawiri, tama a Aperahama.

Na ko ta Aperahama ko Ihaka; ta Ihaka ko Hakopa; ta Hakopa ko Hura ratou ko ona tuakana, ko ona teina;

Ta Hura raua ko Tamara ko Parete raua ko Hara; ta Parete ko Heteromo; ta Heteromo ko Arame;

Ta Arame ko Aminarapa; ta Aminarapa ko Nahona; ta Nahona ko Haramono;

Ta Haramono raua ko Rahapa ko Poaha; ta Poaha raua ko Rutu ko Opere; ta Opere ko Hehe;

Ta Hehe ko Rawiri, ko te kingi; ta Rawiri kingi raua ko te wahine a Uria ko Horomona;

Ta Horomona ko Rehopoama; ta Rehopoama ko Apia; ta Apia ko Aha;

Ta Aha ko Iehohapata; ta Iehohapata ko Iorama; ta Iorama ko Ohiaha;

Ta Ohiaha ko Iotama; ta Iotama ko Ahata; ta Ahata ko Hetekia;

10 Ta Hetekia ko Manahi; ta Manahi ko Amono; ta Amono ko Hohia;

11 Ta Hohia ko Hekonia ratou ko ona teina; i te wa o te whakahekenga ki Papurona:

12 A, i muri i te whakahekenga atu ki Papurona, ka whanau ta Hekonia ko Haratiera; ta Haratiera ko Herupapera;

13 Ta Herupapera ko Apiuru; ta Apiuru ko Eriakimi; ta Eriakimi ko Atoro;

14 Ta Atoro ko Haroko; ta Haroko ko Akimi; ta Akimi ko Eriuru;

15 Ta Eriuru ko Ereatara; ta Ereatara ko Matana; ta Matana ko Hakopa;

16 Ta Hakopa ko Hohepa, ko te tahu a Meri; whanau ake ta Meri ko Ihu, e kiia nei ko te Karaiti.

17 Heoi, ko nga whakatupuranga katoa o Aperahama tae noa ki a Rawiri tekau ma wha nga whakatupuranga; o Rawiri tae noa ki te whakahekenga ki Papurona tekau ma wha nga whakatupuranga; a no te whakahekenga ki Papurona tae noa ki a te Karaiti tekau ma wha nga whakatupuranga.

18 Na ko te whanautanga tenei o Ihu Karaiti: he mea taumau a Meri, tona whaea, ma Hohepa, a i te mea kiano raua i tata noa ki a raua, ka kitea kua hapu ia i te Wairua Tapu.

19 Otira he tangata tika tana tahu, a Hohepa, a kahore ona ngakau kia whakakitea nuitia ia, ka mea kia whakarerea pukutia.

20 Otiia i a ia e hurihuri ana i enei mea, na, ka puta moemoea mai tetahi anahera a te Ariki ki a ia, ka mea, E Hohepa, e te tama a Rawiri, kaua e hopohopo ki te tango i a Meri, i tau wahine; na te Wairua Tapu hoki tona hapu.

21 A e whanau ia he tama, me hua e koe tona ingoa ko IHU: no te mea mana e whakaora tona iwi i o ratou hara.

22 Na ka oti tenei katoa, katahi ka rite ta te Ariki, i korerotia e te poropiti, i mea ai ia,

23 Na, ka hapu te wahine, ka whanau hoki he tama, a ka huaina e ratou tona ingoa ko Emanuera, ko tona whakamaoritanga tenei, Kei a tatou te Atua.

24 A ka ara ake a Hohepa i te moe, ka meatia e ia ta te anahera a te Ariki i whakahau ai ki a ia, a tango ana ia i tana wahine:

25 A kihai i mohio ki a ia, whanau noa tana tama matamua: a huaina ana e ia tona ingoa ko IHU.

Na, i te mea kua whanau nei a Ihu ki Peterehema o Huria, i nga ra o Kingi Herora, na, ka haere mai etahi Maki i te rawhiti ki Hiruharama,

Ka mea, Kei hea tenei kua whanau nei hei kingi mo nga Hurai? i kite hoki matou i tona whetu i te rawhiti, a ka tae mai nei ki te koropiko ki a ia.

A, no te rongonga o Kingi Herora, ka ohorere ratou ko Hiruharama katoa.

Na whakaminea katoatia ana e ia nga tohunga nui me nga karaipi o te iwi, a ka ui ki a ratou ki te wahi e whanau ai a te Karaiti.

Ka mea ratou ki a ia, Ki Peterehema o Huria: ko ta te poropiti hoki tenei i tuhituhi ai,

A ko koe, e Peterehema, whenua o Hura, ehara rawa i te iti rawa i roto i nga kawana o Hura: e puta mai hoki i a koe he kawana, hei hepara mo taku iwi, mo Iharaira.

Na, ka oti nga Maki te karanga puku e Herora, ka uia marietia ratou ki te wa i puta mai ai te whetu.

A unga ana ratou e ia ki Peterehema, i mea ia, Haere, rapua marietia te tamaiti; a, ka kitea, ka whakahoki mai i te korero ki ahau, kia haere ai hoki ahau ki te koropiko ki a ia.

Na, ka rongo ratou i ta te kingi, ka haere; na ko te whetu, i kite ai ratou i te rawhiti, e haere ana i mua i a ratou, a tae noa, tu noa ki runga ake i te takotoranga o te tamaiti.

10 A, i to ratou kitenga i te whetu, ko te tino haringa i hari ai.

11 A, ka tae ki roto ki te whare, ka kite i te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, ko Meri, na tapapa ana ratou, koropiko ana ki a ia: a, no ka mawhera o ratou taonga, ka hoatu etahi mea ki a ia, he koura, he parakihe, he maira.

12 A i whakatupatoria ratou e te Atua, he mea moemoea, kia kaua e hoki ki a Herora; na haere ana ki to ratou kainga he ara ke.

13 A, ka riro atu ratou, na ka puta moemoea tetahi anahera a te Ariki ki a Hohepa, ka mea, E ara, tangohia te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, e rere ki Ihipa, a hei reira koe kia korero ra ano ahau ki a koe: meake hoki rapu a Herora i te tamaiti kia wh akangaromia.

14 Na, ka ara ake ia, ka mau ki te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea i te po, a haere ana ki Ihipa:

15 A noho ana i reira, mate noa a Herora; na ka rite ta te Ariki i korerotia e te poropiti, i mea ai ia, He mea karanga naku taku tamaiti i Ihipa.

16 A, no te kitenga o Herora ka oti ia te tinihanga e nga Maki, rahi rawa tona riri, ka tono tangata, a patua iho nga tamariki katoa, nga mea e rua nei o ratou tau, me o muri iho, i Peterehema, i nga wahi katoa o reira, he mea whakarite ki te taima i uia marietia e ia ki nga Maki.

17 Katahi ka rite ta Heremaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,

18 I rangona he reo ki Rama, he uhunga, he tangi, he aue nui, ko Rahera e tangi ana ki ana tamariki, a kihai i pai kia whakamarietia, no te mea kua kahore ratou.

19 A, no ka mate a Herora, na ka puta moemoea te anahera a te Ariki ki a Hohepa ki Ihipa,

20 Ka mea, Ara ake, tangohia te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, a haere ki te whenua o Iharaira: kua mate hoki te hunga i whai kia patua te tamaiti.

21 A, ko tona aranga ake, ka mau ki te tamaiti raua ko tona whaea, ka haere ki te whenua o Iharaira.

22 Otira ka rongo ia ko Arakerauha te kingi o Huria i muri i tona matua, i a Herora, ka wehi ki te haere ki reira: otiia i whakamaharatia ia e te Atua, he mea moemoea, a haere ana ki nga wahi o Kariri;

23 A ka tae, a ka noho ki tetahi pa, ko Nahareta te ingoa; i rite ai ta nga poropiti i mea ai, Me hua ia he tangata no Nahareta.

Na i aua ra ka puta a Hoani Kaiiriiri, ka kauwhau i te koraha o Huria,

Ka mea, Ripeneta, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

Ko ta Ihaia poropiti hoki tenei i korero ai, i mea ai, He reo no tetahi i te koraha e karanga ana, Whakapaia te huarahi o te Ariki, whakatikaia ona ara.

A ko te kakahu o taua Hoani he huruhuru kamera, he hiako hoki te whitiki o tona hope; ko tana kai he mawhitiwhiti, he honi koraha.

Katahi ka haere ki a ia a Hiruharama, me Huria katoa, me nga kainga katoa e tutata ana ki Horano,

A iriiria ana ratou e ia ki Horano, me te whaki ano i o ratou hara.

No tona kitenga ia i te tini o nga Parihi, o nga Haruki e haere ana ki tana iriiringa, ka mea ia ki a ratou, E te uri nakahi, na wai koutou i whakamahara kia rere i te riri meake puta?

Na, whakaputaina he hua e rite ana ki o te ripeneta:

Kei anga koutou kei mea i roto i a koutou, Ko Aperahama to tatou matua: ko taku kupu hoki tenei ki a koutou, e ahei ana ano i te Atua te whakaara tamariki ake ma Aperahama i enei kohatu.

10 Na tenei ka pa te toki ki te pakiaka o nga rakau; a, ki te kahore tetahi rakau e hua i te hua pai, ka tuaina, ka maka ki te ahi.

11 Ko ahau nei he iriiri taku i a koutou ki te wai, hei mea ripeneta: ko tenei ia, e haere mai ana i muri i ahau, nui atu tona mana i toku, e kore ahau e tau hei mau i ona hu: mana koutou e iriiri ki te Wairua Tapu, ki te kapura:

12 Ko tana mea tahi kei tona ringa, a e tino tahia e ia tana patunga witi, a e kohia ana witi ki roto ki te whare witi; tena ko te papapa e tahuna ki te kapura e kore e tineia.

13 I reira ka haere a Ihu i Kariri ki Horano, ki a Hoani, kia iriiria e ia.

14 Otira ka whakakahore a Hoani ki a ia, ka mea, Ko te tikanga ra ko ahau kia iriiria e koe, a e haere mai ana koe ki ahau?

15 Na ka whakahoki a Ihu, ka mea ki a ia, Tukua ra aianei; ko te tikanga hoki tenei ma taua kia whakarite i nga mea tika katoa. Na tukua ana ia e ia.

16 A, no ka oti a Ihu te iriiri, tika tonu ake ia i te wai: na ko te rangi ka tuwhera ki a ia, a ka kite ia i te Wairua o te Atua e heke iho ana me he kukupa, a tau ana ki runga ki a ia:

17 Na ko tetahi reo no te rangi e mea ana, Ko taku Tama tenei i aroha ai, ko taku i ahuareka ai.

Me i reira ka arahina a Ihu e te Wairua ki te koraha, kia whakamatautauria e te rewera.

A, no ka wha tekau nga ra ka wha tekau nga po i nohopuku ai, muri iho ka hiakai.

Na ka tae te kaiwhakamatautau ki a ia, ka mea, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, kiia iho kia meinga enei kohatu hei taro.

Na ka whakahoki ia, ka mea, Kua oti te tuhituhi, E kore e ora te tangata i te taro kau, engari i nga kupu katoa e puta mai ana i te mangai o te Atua.

Me i reira ka kawe te rewera i a ia ki te pa tapu, a whakaturia ana ia ki runga ki te keokeonga o te temepara,

A ka mea ki a ia, Ki te mea ko te Tama koe a te Atua, rere atu ki raro: kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Ka korerotia iho koe e ia ki ana anahera; ma ratou koe e hiki ake ki o ratou ringa, kei tutuki tou waewae ki te kohatu.

Mea atu ana a Ihu ki a ia, Ka oti ano hoki te tuhituhi, Kaua e whakamatautau ki te Ariki ki tou Atua.

Ka kawe ano te rewera i a ia ki runga ki tetahi maunga tiketike rawa, a whakakitea ana ki a ia nga rangatiratanga katoa o te ao, me te kororia o aua mea;

A mea ana ki a ia, Ko enei mea katoa e hoatu e ahau ki a koe, ki te tapapa koe, ki te koropiko ki ahau.

10 Na ka mea a Ihu ki a ia, Haere atu, e Hatana; kua oti hoki te tuhituhi, Me koropiko koe ki te Ariki ki tou Atua, me mahi ano ki a ia anake.

11 Na ka mahue ia i te rewera, a ka haere mai nga anahera ka mahi mea mana.

12 A, no ka rongo a Ihu kua tukua a Hoani ki te whare herehere, ka haere ia ki Kariri;

13 A ka mahue a Nahareta i a ia, a haere ana, ka noho ki Kaperenauma, ki te taha o te moana, ki nga rohe o Hepurona, o Napatari:

14 I rite ai ta Ihaia poropiti i korero ai, i mea ai,

15 Ko te whenua o Hepurona, me te whenua o Napatari, i te ara o te moana, i tera taha o Horano, Kariri o nga tauiwi,

16 Ko te hunga i noho i te pouri kua kite ratou i te marama nui; a koe te hunga i noho i te wahi i te atarangi o te mate, kua puta ake te marama ki a ratou.

17 No reira ano a Ihu i timata ai te kauwhau, te mea, Ripeneta, kua tata hoki te rangatiratanga o te rangi.

18 A, i a Ihu e haere ana i te taha o te moana o Kariri, ka kite ia i etahi tangata tokorua, he tuakana he teina, i a Haimona, tona ingoa nei ko Pita, raua ko tona teina ko Anaru, e maka ana i te kupenga ki te moana; he kaihao ika hoki raua.

19 Na ka mea ia ki a raua, Arumia mai ahau, a maku korua e mea hei kaihao tangata.

20 A mahue ake i a raua nga kupenga, a aru ana i a ia.

21 A, no tona haerenga i reira, tokorua ano ana i kite ai, he tuakana, he teina, ko Hemi tama a Heperi raua ko tona teina ko Hoani, i te kaipuke i a Heperi i to raua matua, e ta ana i nga korenga o a ratou kupenga: a karangatia ana raua e ia.

22 Mahue tonu ake i a raua te kaipuke me to raua matua, a aru ana i a ia.

23 Na ka haereerea katoatia a Kariri e Ihu, whakaako ana i roto i o ratou whare karakia, kauwhau ana i te rongopai o te rangatiratanga, me te whakaora i nga mate katoa, i nga turorotanga katoa o te iwi.

24 A ka haere tona rongo puta noa i Hiria; a kawea ana mai e ratou ki a ia nga tangata mate katoa e ngaua ana e te tini o nga mate, o nga mamae, me te hunga e nohoia ana e te rewera, me te hunga haurangi, me nga pararutiki; a whakaorangia ake ratou e ia.

25 A he rahi te hui i aru i a ia i Kariri, i Rekaporihi, i Hiruharama, i Huria, i tera taha ano o Horano.

The Genealogy of Jesus the Messiah(A)(B)(C)

This is the genealogy[a] of Jesus the Messiah[b] the son of David,(D) the son of Abraham:(E)

Abraham was the father of Isaac,(F)

Isaac the father of Jacob,(G)

Jacob the father of Judah and his brothers,(H)

Judah the father of Perez and Zerah, whose mother was Tamar,(I)

Perez the father of Hezron,

Hezron the father of Ram,

Ram the father of Amminadab,

Amminadab the father of Nahshon,

Nahshon the father of Salmon,

Salmon the father of Boaz, whose mother was Rahab,(J)

Boaz the father of Obed, whose mother was Ruth,

Obed the father of Jesse,

and Jesse the father of King David.(K)

David was the father of Solomon, whose mother had been Uriah’s wife,(L)

Solomon the father of Rehoboam,

Rehoboam the father of Abijah,

Abijah the father of Asa,

Asa the father of Jehoshaphat,

Jehoshaphat the father of Jehoram,

Jehoram the father of Uzziah,

Uzziah the father of Jotham,

Jotham the father of Ahaz,

Ahaz the father of Hezekiah,

10 Hezekiah the father of Manasseh,(M)

Manasseh the father of Amon,

Amon the father of Josiah,

11 and Josiah the father of Jeconiah[c] and his brothers at the time of the exile to Babylon.(N)

12 After the exile to Babylon:

Jeconiah was the father of Shealtiel,(O)

Shealtiel the father of Zerubbabel,(P)

13 Zerubbabel the father of Abihud,

Abihud the father of Eliakim,

Eliakim the father of Azor,

14 Azor the father of Zadok,

Zadok the father of Akim,

Akim the father of Elihud,

15 Elihud the father of Eleazar,

Eleazar the father of Matthan,

Matthan the father of Jacob,

16 and Jacob the father of Joseph, the husband of Mary,(Q) and Mary was the mother of Jesus who is called the Messiah.(R)

17 Thus there were fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David, fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon, and fourteen from the exile to the Messiah.

Joseph Accepts Jesus as His Son

18 This is how the birth of Jesus the Messiah came about[d]: His mother Mary was pledged to be married to Joseph, but before they came together, she was found to be pregnant through the Holy Spirit.(S) 19 Because Joseph her husband was faithful to the law, and yet[e] did not want to expose her to public disgrace, he had in mind to divorce(T) her quietly.

20 But after he had considered this, an angel(U) of the Lord appeared to him in a dream(V) and said, “Joseph son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary home as your wife, because what is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. 21 She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus,[f](W) because he will save his people from their sins.”(X)

22 All this took place to fulfill(Y) what the Lord had said through the prophet: 23 “The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and they will call him Immanuel”[g](Z) (which means “God with us”).

24 When Joseph woke up, he did what the angel(AA) of the Lord had commanded him and took Mary home as his wife. 25 But he did not consummate their marriage until she gave birth to a son. And he gave him the name Jesus.(AB)

The Magi Visit the Messiah

After Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea,(AC) during the time of King Herod,(AD) Magi[h] from the east came to Jerusalem and asked, “Where is the one who has been born king of the Jews?(AE) We saw his star(AF) when it rose and have come to worship him.”

When King Herod heard this he was disturbed, and all Jerusalem with him. When he had called together all the people’s chief priests and teachers of the law, he asked them where the Messiah was to be born. “In Bethlehem(AG) in Judea,” they replied, “for this is what the prophet has written:

“‘But you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah,
    are by no means least among the rulers of Judah;
for out of you will come a ruler
    who will shepherd my people Israel.’[i](AH)

Then Herod called the Magi secretly and found out from them the exact time the star had appeared. He sent them to Bethlehem and said, “Go and search carefully for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.”

After they had heard the king, they went on their way, and the star they had seen when it rose went ahead of them until it stopped over the place where the child was. 10 When they saw the star, they were overjoyed. 11 On coming to the house, they saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him.(AI) Then they opened their treasures and presented him with gifts(AJ) of gold, frankincense and myrrh. 12 And having been warned(AK) in a dream(AL) not to go back to Herod, they returned to their country by another route.

The Escape to Egypt

13 When they had gone, an angel(AM) of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream.(AN) “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.”(AO)

14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled(AP) what the Lord had said through the prophet: “Out of Egypt I called my son.”[j](AQ)

16 When Herod realized that he had been outwitted by the Magi, he was furious, and he gave orders to kill all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity who were two years old and under, in accordance with the time he had learned from the Magi. 17 Then what was said through the prophet Jeremiah was fulfilled:(AR)

18 “A voice is heard in Ramah,
    weeping and great mourning,
Rachel(AS) weeping for her children
    and refusing to be comforted,
    because they are no more.”[k](AT)

The Return to Nazareth

19 After Herod died, an angel(AU) of the Lord appeared in a dream(AV) to Joseph in Egypt 20 and said, “Get up, take the child and his mother and go to the land of Israel, for those who were trying to take the child’s life are dead.”(AW)

21 So he got up, took the child and his mother and went to the land of Israel. 22 But when he heard that Archelaus was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream,(AX) he withdrew to the district of Galilee,(AY) 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.(AZ) So was fulfilled(BA) what was said through the prophets, that he would be called a Nazarene.(BB)

John the Baptist Prepares the Way(BC)

In those days John the Baptist(BD) came, preaching in the wilderness of Judea and saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(BE) has come near.” This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

“A voice of one calling in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
    make straight paths for him.’”[l](BF)

John’s(BG) clothes were made of camel’s hair, and he had a leather belt around his waist.(BH) His food was locusts(BI) and wild honey. People went out to him from Jerusalem and all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan. Confessing their sins, they were baptized(BJ) by him in the Jordan River.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them: “You brood of vipers!(BK) Who warned you to flee from the coming wrath?(BL) Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.(BM) And do not think you can say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’(BN) I tell you that out of these stones God can raise up children for Abraham. 10 The ax is already at the root of the trees, and every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.(BO)

11 “I baptize you with[m] water for repentance.(BP) But after me comes one who is more powerful than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with[n] the Holy Spirit(BQ) and fire.(BR) 12 His winnowing fork is in his hand, and he will clear his threshing floor, gathering his wheat into the barn and burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”(BS)

The Baptism of Jesus(BT)

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John.(BU) 14 But John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?”

15 Jesus replied, “Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all righteousness.” Then John consented.

16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened,(BV) and he saw the Spirit of God(BW) descending like a dove and alighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven(BX) said, “This is my Son,(BY) whom I love; with him I am well pleased.”(BZ)

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness(CA)

Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[o](CB) by the devil.(CC) After fasting forty days and forty nights,(CD) he was hungry. The tempter(CE) came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,(CF) tell these stones to become bread.”

Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’[p](CG)

Then the devil took him to the holy city(CH) and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,”(CI) he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written:

“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
    and they will lift you up in their hands,
    so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[q](CJ)

Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[r](CK)

Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”

10 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!(CL) For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’[s](CM)

11 Then the devil left him,(CN) and angels came and attended him.(CO)

Jesus Begins to Preach

12 When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison,(CP) he withdrew to Galilee.(CQ) 13 Leaving Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum,(CR) which was by the lake in the area of Zebulun and Naphtali— 14 to fulfill(CS) what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

15 “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
    the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
    Galilee of the Gentiles—
16 the people living in darkness
    have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
    a light has dawned.”[t](CT)

17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven(CU) has come near.”

Jesus Calls His First Disciples(CV)

18 As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee,(CW) he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter(CX) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. 19 “Come, follow me,”(CY) Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.” 20 At once they left their nets and followed him.(CZ)

21 Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John.(DA) They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.(DB)

Jesus Heals the Sick

23 Jesus went throughout Galilee,(DC) teaching in their synagogues,(DD) proclaiming the good news(DE) of the kingdom,(DF) and healing every disease and sickness among the people.(DG) 24 News about him spread all over Syria,(DH) and people brought to him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon-possessed,(DI) those having seizures,(DJ) and the paralyzed;(DK) and he healed them. 25 Large crowds from Galilee, the Decapolis,[u] Jerusalem, Judea and the region across the Jordan followed him.(DL)
