⥃The Temptation of Jesus ^{[ Mark 1:12–13 † Luke 4:1–13 ]}

[1] Then was² Jesus led up of the Spirit³ into⁴ the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. [2] And when he had fasted⁵ forty days and forty nights, he was⁶ afterward an hungred. [3] And when the tempter⁷ came to him, he said, If⁸ thou be the Son of God, command⁹ that these stones be made bread. [4] But he answered and said, It is¹⁰ written, Man¹¹ shall not live by bread alone, but¹²¹³ by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. [5] Then the devil taketh¹⁴ him up into the holy¹⁵ city, and setteth him on¹⁶ a pinnacle of the temple, [6] And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for¹⁷ it is written, He shall¹⁸ give his angels charge concerning thee: and in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest¹⁹ at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. [7] Jesus said unto him, It²⁰ is written again, Thou²¹ shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. [8] Again, the devil²² taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth²³ him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; [9] And saith unto him, All²⁴ these things will I give²⁵ thee, if²⁶ thou wilt fall down and worship me. [10] Then saith Jesus unto him, Get²⁷ thee hence, Satan²⁸: for it is written, Thou shalt²⁹ worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. [11] Then the devil³⁰ leaveth him, and, behold³¹, angels came and ministered unto him.

⥃Jesus Begins His Ministry ^{[ Isaiah 9:1–7 † Mark 1:14–15 † Luke 4:14–15 ]}

[12] Now when³² Jesus had heard that John was cast³³ into prison, he departed into Galilee; [13] And leaving³⁴ Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum³⁵, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon³⁶ and Nephthalim³⁷: [14] That it³⁸ might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying³⁹, [15] The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee⁴⁰ of the Gentiles; [16] The people which sat in darkness⁴¹ saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow⁴² of death light is sprung up.

[17] [¶]From that⁴³ time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent⁴⁴: for the kingdom⁴⁵ of heaven is at hand.

⥃The First Disciples ^{[ Mark 1:16–20 † Luke 5:1–11 † John 1:35–42 ]}

[18] And Jesus, walking⁴⁶ by the sea⁴⁷ of Galilee, saw two⁴⁸ brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for⁴⁹ they were fishers. [19] And he saith unto them, Follow⁵⁰ me, and I will⁵¹ make you fishers of men. [20] And they straightway left [their] nets, and followed him.⁵² [21] And going on from thence, he saw other⁵³ two brethren, James [the son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them. [22] And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.⁵⁴

⥃Jesus Heals the Multitudes ^{[ Mark 3:7–12 † Luke 6:17–19 ]}

[23] And Jesus⁵⁵ went about all Galilee, teaching⁵⁶ in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel⁵⁷ of the kingdom, and healing⁵⁸ all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. [24] And his fame⁵⁹ went throughout all Syria⁶⁰: and they brought unto him all sick⁶¹ people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed⁶² with devils, and those which were lunatic⁶³k, and those that⁶⁴ had the palsy; and he healed them. [25] And there followed⁶⁵ him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and [from] Decapolis⁶⁶, and [from] Jerusalem, and [from] Judea, and [from] beyond Jordan.
