The Temptation of Jesus Christ - Matthew 4

               
The Temptation of Jesus Christ
1 - Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2 - And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3 - And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 - But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5 - Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 - And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 - Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.*tempt: or, try, or, put to trial, or, proof
8 - Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 - And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10 - Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 - Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Jesus begins his ministry in Galilee
12 - Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;*cast...: or, delivered up
13 - And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
14 - That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
15 - The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
16 - The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
17 - From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

The vocation of the disciples
18 - And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
19 - And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
20 - And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
21 - And going on from thence, he saw other 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.
23 - And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
24 - And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
25 - And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.

Jesus sends seventy disciples on mission

1 - And after this the LORD appointed seventy more, and sent them before his face, two by two, into all the cities and places whither he was to go.

2 - And he said to them, "The harvest is indeed great, but the laborers are few; therefore pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.

3 - Ide; behold, I command you as lambs among wolves.

4 - Take no purse, no bag, no sandals; and salute no man by the way.

5 - And in whatever house you enter, say first, Peace be to this house.

6 - And if there be any son of peace, his peace shall rest upon him; and if not, it will return to you.

7 - And stay in the same house, eating and drinking of what they have, for the laborer is worthy of his wages. Do not go from house to house.

8 - And in whatever city you enter and receive you, eat what is offered to you.

9 - And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come unto you.

10 - But in whatever city you enter and do not receive, going out through its streets, say:

11 - At the dust that has taken you from your city, we have shaken you. But this, behold, the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.

12 - And I say unto you, that there shall be more toleration in that day for Sodom than for that city.

Ais on unrepentant cities!

13 - Woe to you, Chorazin, out of you, Bethsaida! For if the wonders which were done in you were done in Tire and Sidon, they would have repented long ago, sitting on sackcloth and ashes.

14 - Therefore, for Tire and Sidon there will be less rigor in the judgment than for you.

15 - And you, Capernaum, who have risen up to heaven, shall be brought low to hell.

16 - Whoever listens to you listens to me; and he who rejects you rejects me; and he who rejects me rejects him who sent me.

Jesus Receives the Seventy Disciples of a Mission

17 - And the seventy returned with gladness, saying, Lord, by thy name, even the devils are subject unto us.

18 - And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

19 - And I give you power to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and all the strength of the enemy, and nothing shall hurt you.

But do not rejoice because the spirits are subject to you; rejoice because your names are written in the heavens.

21 - And at that hour Jesus rejoiced in the Holy Spirit, and said, I thank thee, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and the intelligent, and hast revealed them unto the little children; so it is, Father, because it pleased you so.

22 - Everything for my Father has been given to me; and no one knows who the Son is but the Father, or who the Father is but the Son, and whom the Son wills to reveal.

23 - And turning to the disciples, he said to them privately, Blessed are the eyes which see what you see.

24 - For I say unto you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see what ye see, and have not seen it; and hear what you hear, and they have not heard it.

Jesus tells the parable of the Good Samaritan

25 - And there arose a certain teacher of the law, tempting him, and saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?

26 - And he said unto him, What is written in the law? How do you read?

27 - And he answered and said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might, and with all thy mind, and thy neighbor as thyself.

28 - And he said unto him, Thou hast answered well; do this, and you shall live.

But Jesus, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, "And who is my neighbor?"

30 - And Jesus answered and said, A man came down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell into the hand of the robbers, and they spoiled him, and beat him, and departed, leaving him half dead.

31 - And a certain priest occasionally came down the same way; and when he saw it, he passed by.

32 - And also a Levite came to the place, and when he saw it, he passed by.

33 - But a Samaritan, who was traveling, came to his feet, and when he saw him, he moved with compassion.

34 - And he came and bound his wounds, and poured oil and wine to them. and set him on his beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him;

35 - And he departed the next day, and took forth two pounds, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and all that you spend most of all I'll pay you when I get back.

36 - Which of these three do you think was the next to him who fell into the hands of the robbers?

37 - And he said, He that hath mercy upon him. And Jesus said, Go, and do likewise.

Jesus in the house of Martha and Mary

38 - And it came to pass, as they were going by the way, that Jesus entered into a village; and a certain woman named Martha received him into his house;

39 - There was a sister named Mary, who sat at Jesus' feet and listened to his word.

But Martha was distracted in many services; and said to him, Lord, will it not please thee that my sister let me serve alone? Tell him to help me.

41 - And Jesus answered and said unto her, Martha, Martha, thou art anxious and afflicted with many things: but one is needful;

42 - And Mary hath chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.
