St Matthew 4:9-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

9. And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.

10. Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.

11. Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.

12. And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:

13. And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;

14. That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:

15. Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

16. The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.

17. From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
