Matthew 4
1 THEN JESUS was led (guided) by the [Holy] Spirit into the wilderness (desert) to be tempted (tested and tried) by the devil.2 And He went without food for forty days and forty nights, and later He was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to Him, If You are God’s Son, command these stones to be made [loaves of] bread.4 But He replied, It has been written, Man shall not live and be upheld and sustained by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil took Him into the holy city and placed Him on a turret (pinnacle, gable) of the temple sanctuary. 6 And he said to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, He will give His angels charge over you, and they will bear you up on their hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him, On the other hand, it is written also, You shall not tempt, test thoroughly, or try exceedingly the Lord your God. 8 Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory (the splendor, magnificence, preeminence, and excellence) of them.9 And he said to Him, These things, all taken together, I will give You, if You will prostrate Yourself before me and do homage and worship me.10 Then Jesus said to him, Begone, Satan! For it has been written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone shall you serve. 11 Then the devil departed from Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been arrested and put in prison, He withdrew into Galilee.13 And leaving Nazareth, He went and dwelt in Capernaum by the sea, in the country of Zebulun and Naphtali--14 That what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be brought to pass:15 The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, in the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles [of the peoples who are not of Israel]--16 The people who sat (dwelt enveloped) in darkness have seen a great Light, and for those who sat in the land and shadow of death Light has dawned.17 From that time Jesus began to preach, crying out, Repent (change your mind for the better, heartily amend your ways, with abhorrence of your past sins), for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.18 As He was walking by the Sea of Galilee, He noticed two brothers, Simon who is called Peter and Andrew his brother, throwing a dragnet into the sea, for they were fishermen.19 And He said to them, Come after Me [as disciples--letting Me be your Guide], follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men!20 At once they left their nets and became His disciples [sided with His party and followed Him].21 And going on further from there He noticed two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John, in the boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets and putting them right; and He called them.22 At once they left the boat and their father and joined Jesus as disciples [sided with His party and followed Him].23 And He went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good news (Gospel) of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every weakness and infirmity among the people.24 So the report of Him spread throughout all Syria, and they brought Him all who were sick, those afflicted with various diseases and torments, those under the power of demons, and epileptics, and paralyzed people, and He healed them.25 And great crowds joined and accompanied Him about, coming from Galilee and Decapolis [the district of the ten cities east of the Sea of Galilee] and Jerusalem and Judea and from the other [the east] side of the Jordan.
Matthieu 4
1 Alors Jésus fut emmené dans le désert par l'Esprit pour être tenté par le diable.2 ayant jeûné quarante jours et quarante nuits, après cela il eut faim.3 Et le tentateur, s'approchant de lui, dit: Si tu es Fils de Dieu, dis que ces pierres deviennent des pains.4 Mais lui, répondant, dit: il est écrit: "L'homme ne vivra pas de pain seulement, mais de toute parole qui sort de la bouche de Dieu".5 Alors le diable le transporte dans la sainte ville, et le place sur le faîte du temple,6 et lui dit: Si tu es Fils de Dieu, jette-toi en bas, car il est écrit: "Il donnera des ordres à ses anges à ton sujet, et ils te porteront sur leurs mains, de peur que tu ne heurtes ton pied contre une pierre".7 Jésus lui dit: Il est encore écrit: "Tu ne tenteras pas le *Seigneur ton Dieu".8 Le diable le transporte encore sur une fort haute montagne, et lui montre tous les royaumes du monde et leur gloire,9 et lui dit: Je te donnerai toutes ces choses, si, te prosternant, tu me rends hommage.10 Alors Jésus lui dit: Va-t'en, Satan car il est écrit: "Tu rendras hommage au *Seigneur ton Dieu, et tu le serviras lui seul".11 Alors le diable le laisse: et voici, des anges s'approchèrent et le servirent.
12 ayant ouï dire que Jean avait été livré, il se retira en Galilée;13 et ayant quitté Nazareth, il alla demeurer à Capernaüm, qui est au bord de la mer, sur les confins de Zabulon et de Nephthali,14 afin que fût accompli ce qui avait été dit par Ésaïe le prophète, disant:15 "Terre de Zabulon, et terre de Nephthali, chemin de la mer au delà du Jourdain, Galilée des nations:16 le peuple assis dans les ténèbres a vu une grande lumière; et sur ceux qui sont assis dans la région et dans l'ombre de la mort, la lumière s'est levée sur eux".17 Dès lors Jésus commença à prêcher et à dire: Repentez-vous, car le royaume des cieux s'est approché.
18 Et comme il marchait le long de la mer de Galilée, il vit deux frères, Simon appelé Pierre, et André son frère, qui jetaient un filet dans la mer, car ils étaient pêcheurs;19 et il leur dit: Venez après moi, et je vous ferai pêcheurs d'hommes.20 Et eux aussitôt, ayant quitté leurs filets, le suivirent.21 Et, passant de là plus avant, il vit deux autres frères, Jacques le fils de Zébédée, et Jean son frère, dans la nacelle avec Zébédée leur père, raccommodant leurs filets, et il les appela;22 et eux aussitôt, ayant quitté la nacelle et leur père, le suivirent.
23 Et Jésus allait par toute la Galilée, enseignant dans leurs synagogues, et prêchant l'évangile du royaume, et guérissant toute sorte de maladies et toute sorte de langueurs parmi le peuple.24 Et sa renommée se répandit par toute la Syrie; et on lui amena tous ceux qui se portaient mal, qui étaient affligés de diverses maladies et de divers tourments, et des démoniaques, et des lunatiques, et des paralytiques, et il les guérit.25 Et de grandes foules le suivirent de la Galilée, et de Décapolis, et de Jérusalem, et de Judée, et de par delà le Jourdain.
