New Testament

Matthew 4:8-16 God's Word Translation (GW)

8. Once more the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms in the world and their glory.

9. The devil said to him, “I will give you all this if you will bow down and worship me.”

10. Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! Scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ”

11. Then the devil left him, and angels came to take care of him.

12. When Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he went back to Galilee.

13. He left Nazareth and made his home in Capernaum on the shores of the Sea of Galilee. This was in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

14. So what the prophet Isaiah had said came true:

15. “Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,on the way to the sea,across the Jordan River,Galilee, where foreigners live!

16. The people who lived in darknesshave seen a bright light.A light has risenfor those who live in a land overshadowed by death.”
