Matthew 4:2-17 World English Bible (WEB)

2. When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.

3. The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

4. But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”

5. Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6. and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you.’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”

7. Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”

8. Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.

9. He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”

10. Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

11. Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

12. Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

13. Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,

14. that it might be fulfilled which was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,

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

16. the people who sat in darkness saw a great light, to those who sat in the region and shadow of death, to them light has dawned.”

17. From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say, “Repent! For the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.”
