New Testament

Matthew 4:11-20 Modern English Version (MEV)

11. Then the devil left Him, and immediately angels came and ministered to Him.

12. Now when Jesus heard that John was put in prison, He left for Galilee.

13. And leaving Nazareth, He came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14. that what was spoken by Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying:

15. “The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali,the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,Galilee of the Gentiles:

16. The people who sat in darknesssaw great light.And on those who sat in the land of the shadow of death,light has dawned.”

17. From that time Jesus began to preach, saying, “Repent! For the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”

18. As Jesus walked beside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, throwing a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19. And He said to them, “Follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men.”

20. They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
