Matthew 4
New King James Version
Satan Tempts Jesus(A)
4 Then (B)Jesus was led up by (C)the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. 3 Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”
4 But He answered and said, “It is written, (D)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
5 Then the devil took Him up (E)into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
(F)‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’
and,
(G)‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, (H)‘You shall not [a]tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and (I)showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him, [b]“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, (J)‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
11 Then the devil (K)left Him, and behold, (L)angels came and ministered to Him.
Jesus Begins His Galilean Ministry(M)
12 (N)Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, He departed to Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, He came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14 that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
15 “The(O) land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,
By the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 (P)The people who sat in darkness have seen a great light,
And upon those who sat in the region and shadow of death
Light has dawned.”
17 (Q)From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, (R)“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven [c]is at hand.”
Four Fishermen Called as Disciples(S)
18 (T)And Jesus, walking by the Sea of Galilee, saw two brothers, Simon (U)called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19 Then He said to them, “Follow Me, and (V)I will make you fishers of men.” 20 (W)They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
21 (X)Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them, 22 and immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
Jesus Heals a Great Multitude(Y)
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, (Z)teaching in their synagogues, preaching (AA)the gospel of the kingdom, (AB)and healing all kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people. 24 Then [d]His fame went throughout all Syria; and they (AC)brought to Him all sick people who were afflicted with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25 (AD)Great multitudes followed Him—from Galilee, and from [e]Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

nuBibeln (Swedish Contemporary Bible)
Jesus prövas av djävulen
(Mark 1:12-13; Luk 4:1-13)
4 Sedan fördes Jesus ut i ödemarken av Anden för att djävulen skulle pröva honom. 2 Under fyrtio dagar och fyrtio nätter åt han ingenting, och han blev till slut hungrig. 3 Då kom frestaren fram till honom och sa: ”Säg till de här stenarna att bli bröd, om du nu är Guds Son!”
4 Men Jesus svarade: ”Det står skrivet: ’Människan lever inte bara av bröd, utan av alla de ord som utgår ur Guds mun.[a]’ ”
5 Sedan tog djävulen honom med till den heliga staden och ställde honom högst upp på tempelmuren 6 och sa: ”Kasta dig ner, om du nu är Guds Son! Det står ju skrivet:
’Han ger sina änglar befallning om dig.
Med sina händer ska de bära dig,
så att du inte stöter din fot mot någon sten.[b]’ ”
7 Men Jesus svarade honom: ”Det står också skrivet: ’Sätt inte Herren, din Gud, på prov.[c]’ ”
8 Därefter tog djävulen med honom upp till toppen av ett mycket högt berg och lät honom se alla riken i världen och deras härlighet. 9 ”Allt detta ska jag ge dig”, sa han, ”om du bara faller ner och tillber mig.”
10 ”Försvinn, Satan”, svarade Jesus honom. ”Det står ju skrivet: ’Det är Herren, din Gud, du ska tillbe, och bara honom du ska tjäna.[d]’ ”
11 Då lät djävulen honom vara, och änglar kom till Jesus för att betjäna honom.
Jesus talar till folket i Galileen
(Mark 1:14-15; Luk 4:14-15)
12 När Jesus hörde att Johannes hade blivit fängslad, återvände han till Galileen. 13 Han lämnade Nasaret och bosatte sig i Kafarnaum vid Galileiska sjön, i Sebulons och Naftalis område. 14 Genom detta gick det i uppfyllelse som förutsagts genom profeten Jesaja:
15 ”Sebulons land och Naftalis land,
sjövägen, landet bortom Jordan,
de främmande folkens Galileen –
16 det folk som lever i mörkret
såg ett stort ljus.
Över dem som bor i skuggans land
har ett ljus gått upp.”[e]
17 Från och med nu började Jesus tala till folket och säga: ”Vänd om, för himmelriket är nära!”
De första lärjungarna
(Mark 1:16-20; Luk 5:2-11)
18 En dag när han vandrade längs Galileiska sjön fick han se två bröder, Simon, som kallas Petrus, och Andreas. De höll på att kasta ut nät i sjön, för de var fiskare. 19 Jesus sa till dem: ”Kom och följ mig, så ska jag göra er till människofiskare.” 20 Och de lämnade genast sina nät och följde honom.
21 När han gick vidare fick han se två andra bröder, Jakob och Johannes, sitta i en båt tillsammans med sin far Sebedaios och göra i ordning sina nät. Han kallade på dem också, och 22 genast lämnade de båten och sin far och följde honom.
Jesus undervisar och botar sjuka
(Mark 3:7-12; Luk 6:17-19)
23 Jesus vandrade nu omkring i hela Galileen och undervisade i synagogorna, och vart han än kom predikade han evangeliet om riket, och han botade alla slags sjukdomar och plågor bland folket. 24 Ryktet om honom spreds över hela Syrien[f], och man förde till honom alla slags sjuka och plågade, besatta av onda andar, sådana som led av krampanfall eller var förlamade, och han botade dem. 25 Stora folkmassor följde honom vart han än gick – människor från Galileen, Tiostadsområdet[g], Jerusalem och hela Judeen och från andra sidan Jordan.

Matthew 4
King James Version
4 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
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 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 devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
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 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
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 saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
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 devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12 Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
13 And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
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 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 Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
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 And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
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 And they immediately left the ship 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 healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
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 And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
