Matthew 4

NEW JERUSALEM	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the test by the devil.	1 Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.
2 He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he was hungry,	2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
3 and the tester came and said to him, 'If you are Son of God, tel these stones to turn into loaves.'	3 And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 But he replied, 'Scripture says: Human beings live not on bread alone but on every word that comesfrom the mouth of God.'	4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
5 The devil then took him to the holy city and set him on the parapet of the Temple.	5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
6 'If you are Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down; for scripture says: He has given his angels ordersabout you, and they will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.'	6 And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said to him, 'Scripture also says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'	7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Next, taking him to a very high mountain, the devil showed him al the kingdoms of the world and theirsplendour.	8 Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
9 And he said to him, 'I wil give you al these, if you fal at my feet and do me homage.'	9 And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
10 Then Jesus replied, 'Away with you, Satan! For scripture says: The Lord your God is the one to whomyou must do homage, him alone you must serve.'	10 Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels appeared and looked after him.	11 Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.
12 Hearing that John had been arrested he withdrew to Galilee,	12 And when Jesus had heard that John was delivered up, he retired into Galilee:
13 and leaving Nazara he went and settled in Capernaum, beside the lake, on the borders of Zebulun andNaphtali.	13 And leaving the city Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capharnaum on the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim;
14 This was to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah:	14 That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:
15 Land of Zebulun! Land of Naphtali! Way of the sea beyond Jordan. Galilee of the nations!	15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
16 The people that lived in darkness have seen a great light; on those who lived in a country of shadowdark as death a light has dawned.	16 The people that sat in darkness, hath seen great light: and to them that sat in the region of the shadow of death, light is sprung up.
17 From then onwards Jesus began his proclamation with the message, 'Repent, for the kingdom ofHeaven is close at hand.'	17 From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say: Do penance, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
18 As he was walking by the Lake of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon, who was cal ed Peter, and hisbrother Andrew; they were making a cast into the lake with their net, for they were fishermen.	18 And Jesus walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers).
19 And he said to them, 'Come after me and I wil make you fishers of people.'	19 And he saith to them: Come ye after me, and I will make you to be fishers of men.
20 And at once they left their nets and followed him.	20 And they immediately leaving their nets, followed him.
21 Going on from there he saw another pair of brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John;they were in their boat with their father Zebedee, mending their nets, and he cal ed them.	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 at once, leaving the boat and their father, they fol owed him.	22 And they forthwith left their nets and father, and followed him.
23 He went round the whole of Galilee teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of thekingdom and curing al kinds of disease and il ness among the people.	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 every infirmity, among the people.
24 His fame spread throughout Syria, and those who were suffering from diseases and painful complaintsof one kind or another, the possessed, epileptics, the paralysed, were all brought to him, and he cured them.	24 And his fame went throughout all Syria, and they presented to him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and such as were possessed by devils, and lunatics, and those that had palsy, and he cured them:
25 Large crowds fol owed him, coming from Galilee, the Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judaea and Transjordan.	25 And much people followed him from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judea, and from beyond the Jordan.
