\subsection{Matthew 4} \subsubsection{The Temptation of \Iesous} \VS{1} Then \Iesous was led into the wilderness by the spirit to be tested by the devil. \VS{2} And having fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterwards hungry. \VS{3} And the [one] testing him having come, he said to him: If you are [the] Son of God, speak in order that these stones become bread. \VS{4} But answering he said: It is written\footnote{ Deut. 8:3}: \begin{verse} Not on bread alone does man zoe-live\fnZoe{}, but [also] on every word proceeding out of the mouth of God. \end{verse} \VS{5} Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple. \VS{6} And he says to him: If you are [the] Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written\footnote{ Ps.91:11-12, but note the whole passage: ``For He shall give His angels charge over thee, To keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.'' [KJV]} that: \begin{verse} He will command his angels concerning you \\ And in their hands they will carry you \\ Lest you dash your foot against [a] stone. \end{verse} \VS{7} \Iesous said to him: Again it is written\footnote{ Deut. 8:3}: \begin{verse} You will not test [the] Lord your God. \end{verse} \VS{8} Again the devil takes him to [a] very high mountain, and shows to him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, \VS{9} and says to him: All these I will give to you if, having fallen [down], you will worship me. \VS{10} Then \Iesous says to him: Be departing\footnote{``Be departing'' \sinaiticus{}BW \vulgate{} ; ``Be departing behind me'' D\koine{}}, Satan, for it is written\footnote{ Deut. 11:3\EnDash{}4}: \begin{verse} You will worship [the] Lord your God and to him only will you serve. \end{verse} \VS{11} Then the devil left him, and behold angels came and served him. \subsubsection{Preaching in Galilee} \VS{12} But having heard that \Ioannes had been delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee. \VS{13} And having left Nazareth, having come he dwelt in \Kapernaoum by the sea in the environs of Zebulun and Nephtali, \VS{14} in order that what was said through Isaiah the prophet be fulfilled saying\footnote{Isa.9:1,2}: \begin{verse} \VS{15} Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, \\ Of the nations, \\ road of the sea, \\ Across the Jordan, Galilee: \\ \VS{16} The people sitting in darkness saw [a] great light, \\ And to those sitting in the land and darkness of death [a] light has arisen for them. \end{verse} \VS{17} From then on \Iesous began preaching and saying: Be repenting, for the kingdom of the heavens is at hand. \subsubsection{The Call of the Disciples} \VS{18} So walking by the sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon the [one] called \Petros and Andrew his brother, throwing [a] net into the sea, for they were fishermen. \VS{19} And he says to them: Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. \VS{20} And immediately having left their nets, they followed him. \VS{21} And proceeding on from there they saw another two brothers, \Iakob\fnIakob{} the son of Zebedee and \Ioannes his brother in [their] boat with Zebedee their father repairing their nets, and he called them. \VS{22} And immediately having left their nets and father, they followed him. \subsubsection{\Iesous' Healing Ministry} \VS{23} And he went around in all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and preaching the good-news of the kingdom and healing all sickness and all weakliness among the people. \VS{24} And the report of him came into all Syria, and brought to him were all those having [it] evil-ly: those afflicted by various sicknesses and torments, those demon possessed and those lunatic, and those paralytic, and he healed them. \VS{25} And great multitudes from Galilee and Decapolis\footnote{i.e. ``The Ten Cities.'' Decapolis is the name given in the Bible and by ancient writers to a region in Palestine lying to the east and south of the Sea of Galilee. It took its name from the confederation of ten cities that dominated the area.} and Jerusalem and Judea and from across the Jordan followed him.
