¹ Then Jesus was led of a spirit into desert, to be tempted of the fiend [or the devil].

² And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he hungered.

³ And the tempter came nigh, and said to him, If thou be God’s Son [or If thou art the Son of God], say that these stones be made loaves.

⁴ Which answered, and said to him, It is written, Not only in bread liveth man, but in each word that cometh forth of God’s mouth, [or A man liveth not in bread alone, but in every word that cometh forth from the mouth of God].

⁵ Then the fiend [or the devil] took him into the holy city, and setted him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁶ and said to him, If thou art God’s Son, send thee adown, [or If thou art the Son of God, send thee down]; for it is written, That to his angels he commanded of thee, and they shall take thee in hands, lest peradventure thou hurt thy foot at a stone.

⁷ Again Jesus said to him, It is written, Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God [or the Lord thy God].

⁸ Again the fiend [or the devil] took him [up] into a full high hill, and showed to him all the realms of the world, and the joy [or the glory] of them;

⁹ and said to him, All these I shall give to thee, if thou fall down and worship me.

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, Go, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship thy Lord God [or the Lord thy God], and to him alone thou shalt serve.

¹¹ Then the fiend [or the devil] left him; and lo! angels came nigh, and served to him.

¹² But when Jesus had heard that John was taken, he went into Galilee.

¹³ And he left the city of Nazareth, and came, and dwelt in the city of Capernaum, beside the sea, in the coasts of Zebulun and Naphtali,

¹⁴ that it should be fulfilled, that was said by Isaiah, the prophet, saying,

¹⁵ The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, the way of the sea over Jordan, of Galilee of heathen men,

¹⁶ the people that walked [or that dwelt] in darknesses saw great light, and while men sat in the country of [the] shadow of death, light arose to them.

¹⁷ From that time Jesus began to preach, and [to] say, Do ye penance, for the kingdom of heavens shall come nigh [or the realm of heaven hath nighed].

¹⁸ And Jesus walked beside the sea of Galilee, and saw two brethren, Simon, that is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting nets into the sea; for they were fishers.

¹⁹ And he said to them, Come ye after me, and I shall make you to be made fishers of men.

²⁰ And anon they left their nets, and pursued him.

²¹ And he went forth from that place, and saw twain other brethren, James of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in a ship with Zebedee, their father, amending their nets, and he called them.

²² And anon they left the nets and the father, and pursued him.

²³ And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in the synagogues of them, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every languor, [or all sorrow, or ache], and each sickness among the people.

²⁴ And his fame went into all Syria; and they brought to him all that were at mal-ease, and that were taken with diverse languors [or sorrows], and torments, and them that had fiends [or devils], and lunatic men, and men in [the] palsy, and he healed them.

²⁵ And there pursued him much people of Galilee, and of Decapolis, and of Jerusalem, and of Judea, and of beyond Jordan.
