Matthew 4
New Matthew Bible
Christ fasts and is proved. He calls Peter, Andrew, James, and John, and heals all the sick.
4 Then Jesus was led away by the Spirit into wilderness, to be tried by the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterwards hungered. 3 Then the tempter came to him and said, If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. 4 He answered and said, It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to him, If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it is written: He will give his angels charge over you, and with their hands they will hold you up so that you do not dash your foot against a stone. 7 And Jesus said to him, It is written also: You shall not tempt the Lord your God.
8 The devil took him up again, and led him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and all the glory of them, 9 and said to him, All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me. 10 Then Jesus said to him, Away, Satan! For it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, the angels came and ministered to him.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was taken, he departed into Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, he went and dwelt in Capernaum, which is a city upon the sea in the coasts of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 to fulfil that which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying, 15 The land of Zebulun and Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles: 16 the people who sat in darkness saw great light, and to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, light has begun to shine.
17 From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!
18 As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brethren, Simon who was called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting 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 And they straightaway left their nets and followed him.
21 And he went onwards from there and saw two other brethren, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And he called them. 22 And they without delay left the boat and their father, and followed him.
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the gospel of the kingdom. And he healed all manner of sickness and all kinds of diseases among the people. 24 And his fame spread abroad throughout all Syria. And they brought to him all the sick people who were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those who were possessed with devils, and those who were mentally ill, and those who were paralyzed; and he healed them. 25 And there followed him a great number of people from Galilee and the Ten Cities, and from Jerusalem and Judea, and from the regions that lie beyond the Jordan.

Jesús es tentado
4 (A)Entonces Jesús fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto para ser tentado por el diablo. 2 Después de haber ayunado cuarenta días y cuarenta noches(B), entonces[a] tuvo hambre. 3 Y acercándose el tentador(C), le dijo: «Si eres Hijo de Dios(D), ordena que estas piedras se conviertan en pan[b]». 4 Pero Jesús le respondió: «Escrito está: “No solo de pan vivirá el hombre, sino de toda palabra que sale de la boca de Dios(E)”».
5 Entonces el diablo lo llevó* a la ciudad santa(F), y lo puso sobre el pináculo del templo, 6 y le dijo*: «Si eres Hijo de Dios, lánzate abajo, pues escrito está:
“A Sus ángeles te encomendará”,
Y:
“En las manos te llevarán,
No sea que Tu pie tropiece en piedra(G)”».
7 Jesús le contestó: «También está escrito: “No tentarás[c]al Señor tu Dios(H)”».
8 Otra vez el diablo lo llevó* a un monte muy alto, y le mostró* todos los reinos del mundo(I) y la gloria de ellos, 9 y le dijo: «Todo esto te daré, si te postras y me adoras(J)». 10 Entonces Jesús le dijo*: «¡Vete, Satanás! Porque escrito está: “Al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y solo a Él servirás[d](K)”». 11 El diablo entonces lo dejó*; y al instante, unos ángeles vinieron y le servían(L).
Jesús va a Galilea
12 Cuando Jesús oyó que Juan había sido encarcelado[e](M), regresó a Galilea(N). 13 Saliendo de Nazaret, fue a vivir en Capernaúm(O), que está junto al mar, en la región de Zabulón y de Neftalí; 14 para que se cumpliera lo que fue dicho por medio del profeta Isaías, cuando dijo:
15 «¡Tierra de Zabulón y tierra de Neftalí,
Camino del mar[f], al otro lado del Jordán, Galilea de los gentiles[g](P)!
16 -»El pueblo asentado en tinieblas vio una gran Luz,
Y a los que vivían[h] en región y sombra de muerte,
Una Luz les resplandeció[i](Q)».
17 Desde entonces Jesús comenzó a predicar:[j](R) «Arrepiéntanse, porque el reino de los cielos se ha acercado(S)».
Llamamiento de los primeros discípulos
18 (T)Andando Jesús junto al mar de Galilea(U), vio a dos hermanos, Simón, llamado Pedro(V), y Andrés su hermano, echando una red al mar, porque eran pescadores. 19 Y les dijo*: «Vengan en pos de Mí, y Yo los haré pescadores de hombres». 20 Entonces ellos, dejando al instante las redes, lo siguieron.
21 Y pasando de allí, Jesús vio a otros dos hermanos, Jacobo[k](W), hijo de Zebedeo, y Juan su hermano, en la barca con su padre Zebedeo, remendando sus redes, y los llamó. 22 Y ellos, dejando al instante la barca y a su padre, lo siguieron.
La fama de Jesús se extiende
23 Y Jesús iba por toda Galilea(X), enseñando(Y) en sus sinagogas, proclamando(Z) el evangelio del reino, y sanando(AA) toda enfermedad y toda dolencia en el pueblo. 24 Se extendió Su fama por toda Siria(AB); y traían a Él todos los que estaban enfermos, afectados con diversas enfermedades y dolores, los endemoniados(AC), epilépticos[l](AD) y paralíticos(AE), y Él los sanaba. 25 Y lo siguieron grandes multitudes(AF) de Galilea, Decápolis(AG), Jerusalén y Judea, y del otro lado del Jordán(AH).
