Matthew 4
Modern English Version
The Temptation of Jesus(A)
4 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. 2 And He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, and then He was hungry. 3 And the tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be turned into bread.”
4 But He answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’[a]”
5 Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on the highest point of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written,
‘He shall give His angels charge concerning you,’[b]
and
‘In their hands they shall lift you up,
lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.’[c]”
7 Jesus said to him, “It is also written, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’[d]”
8 Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur, 9 and said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me. ”
10 Then Jesus said to him, “Get away from here, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve.’[e] ”
11 Then the devil left Him, and immediately angels came and ministered to Him.
The Beginning of the Galilean Ministry(B)
12 Now when Jesus heard that John was put in prison, He left for Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying:
15 “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 The people who sat in darkness
saw great light.
And on those who sat in the land of the shadow of death,
light has dawned.”[f]
17 From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
The Calling of the First Disciples(C)
18 As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen. 19 And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.” 20 They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
21 And going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in a boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets, and He called them. 22 They immediately left the boat and their father and followed Him.
Ministering to Great Crowds(D)
23 Jesus went throughout all Galilee teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all kinds of sickness and all sorts of diseases among the people. 24 His fame went throughout all Syria. And they brought to Him all sick people who were taken with various diseases and tormented with pain, those who were possessed with demons, those who had seizures, and those who had paralysis, and He healed them. 25 Great crowds followed Him from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.

Biblia del Jubileo
4 ¶ Entonces Jesús fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto, para ser tentado por el diablo.
2 Y habiendo ayunado cuarenta días y cuarenta noches, después tuvo hambre.
3 Y acercándose a él el tentador, dijo: Si eres Hijo de Dios, di que estas piedras se conviertan en pan.
4 Mas él respondiendo, dijo: Escrito está: No con solo el pan vivirá el hombre, mas con toda palabra que sale por la boca de Dios.
5 Entonces el diablo le pasa a la Santa ciudad, y le pone sobre las almenas del Templo,
6 Y le dice: Si eres Hijo de Dios, échate abajo; que escrito está: A sus ángeles mandará por ti, y te alzarán en las manos, para que nunca tropieces con tu pie en piedra.
7 Jesús le dijo: Escrito está además: No tentarás al Señor tu Dios.
8 Otra vez le pasó el diablo a un monte muy alto, y le muestra todos los reinos del mundo, y su gloria,
9 y le dice: Todo esto te daré, si postrado me adorares.
10 Entonces Jesús le dice: Vete, Satanás, que escrito está: Al Señor tu Dios adorarás y a él solo servirás.
11 El diablo entonces le dejó: y he aquí los ángeles llegaron y le servían.
12 ¶ Mas oyendo Jesús que Juan estaba preso, se volvió a Galilea;
13 y dejando a Nazaret, vino y habitó en Capernaum, ciudad marítima, en los confines de Zabulón y de Neftalí:
14 Para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por el profeta Isaías, que dijo:
15 La tierra de Zabulón, y la tierra de Neftalí, camino del mar, al otro lado del Jordán, Galilea de los gentiles;
16 el pueblo asentado en tinieblas, vio gran luz; y a los asentados en región de sombra de muerte, luz les esclareció.
17 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús a predicar, y a decir: Arrepentíos, que el Reino de los cielos se ha acercado.
18 ¶ Y andando Jesús junto al mar de Galilea, vio a dos hermanos, Simón, que es llamado Pedro, y Andrés su hermano, que echaban la red en el mar; porque eran pescadores.
19 Y les dice: Venid en pos de mí, y os haré pescadores de hombres.
20 Ellos entonces, dejando luego las redes, le siguieron.
21 Y pasando de allí vio otros dos hermanos, Jacobo, hijo de Zebedeo, y Juan su hermano, en el barco con Zebedeo, su padre, que remendaban sus redes; y los llamó.
22 Y ellos, dejando luego el barco y a su padre, le siguieron.
23 ¶ Y rodeó Jesús toda Galilea, enseñando en las sinagogas de ellos, y predicando el Evangelio del Reino, y sanando toda enfermedad y toda flaqueza en el pueblo.
24 Y corría su fama por toda Siria; y le traían todos los que tenían mal; los tomados de diversas enfermedades y tormentos, y los endemoniados, y lunáticos, y paralíticos, y los sanaba.
25 Y le siguió gran multitud de Galilea y de Decápolis y de Jerusalén y de Judea y del otro lado del Jordán.
