English

1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2When He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was hungry afterward. 3The tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

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

5Then the devil took Him into the holy city. He set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down, for it is written,

‘He will command His angels concerning You,’ and,

‘On their hands they will bear You up,

so that You don’t dash Your foot against a stone.’”

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

8Again, the devil took Him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9He said to Him, “I will give You all of these things, if You will fall down and worship me.”

10Then 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.’”

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

12Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, He withdrew into Galilee. 13Leaving Nazareth, He came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali, 14that 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,

16the 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.”

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

18Walking by the sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers: Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen. 19He said to them, “Come after Me, and I will make you fishers for men.”

20They immediately left their nets and followed Him. 21Going on from there, He saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. He called them. 22They immediately left the boat and their father, and followed Him.

23Jesus went about in all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and healing every disease and every sickness among the people. 24The report about Him went out into all Syria. They brought to Him all who were sick, afflicted with various diseases and torments, possessed with demons, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them. 25Great multitudes from Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea, and from beyond the Jordan followed Him.

Latin · Clementine Vulgate · Matthæus 4

1Tunc Jesus ductus est in desertum a Spiritu, ut tentaretur a diabolo. 2Et cum jejunasset quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit. 3Et accedens tentator dixit ei: Si Filius Dei es, dic ut lapides isti panes fiant. 4Qui respondens dixit: Scriptum est: Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei. 5Tunc assumpsit eum diabolus in sanctam civitatem, et statuit eum super pinnaculum templi, 6et dixit ei: Si Filius Dei es, mitte te deorsum. Scriptum est enim: Quia angelis suis mandavit de te, et in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum. 7Ait illi Jesus: Rursum scriptum est: Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum. 8Iterum assumpsit eum diabolus in montem excelsum valde: et ostendit ei omnia regna mundi, et gloriam eorum, 9et dixit ei: Hæc omnia tibi dabo, si cadens adoraveris me. 10Tunc dicit ei Jesus: Vade Satana: Scriptum est enim: Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies. 11Tunc reliquit eum diabolus: et ecce angeli accesserunt, et ministrabant ei. 12Cum autem audisset Jesus quod Joannes traditus esset, secessit in Galilæam: 13et, relicta civitate Nazareth, venit, et habitavit in Capharnaum maritima, in finibus Zabulon et Nephthalim: 14ut adimpleretur quod dictum est per Isaiam prophetam: 15Terra Zabulon, et terra Nephthalim, via maris trans Jordanem, Galilæa gentium: 16populus, qui sedebat in tenebris, vidit lucem magnam: et sedentibus in regione umbræ mortis, lux orta est eis. 17Exinde cœpit Jesus prædicare, et dicere: Pœnitentiam agite: appropinquavit enim regnum cælorum. 18Ambulans autem Jesus juxta mare Galilææ, vidit duos fratres, Simonem, qui vocatur Petrus, et Andream fratrem ejus, mittentes rete in mare (erant enim piscatores), 19et ait illis: Venite post me, et faciam vos fieri piscatores hominum. 20At illi continuo relictis retibus secuti sunt eum. 21Et procedens inde, vidit alios duos fratres, Jacobum Zebedæi, et Joannem fratrem ejus, in navi cum Zebedæo patre eorum, reficientes retia sua: et vocavit eos. 22Illi autem statim relictis retibus et patre, secuti sunt eum. 23Et circuibat Jesus totam Galilæam, docens in synagogis eorum, et prædicans Evangelium regni: et sanans omnem languorem, et omnem infirmitatem in populo. 24Et abiit opinio ejus in totam Syriam, et obtulerunt ei omnes male habentes, variis languoribus, et tormentis comprehensos, et qui dæmonia habebant, et lunaticos, et paralyticos, et curavit eos: 25et secutæ sunt eum turbæ multæ de Galilæa, et Decapoli, et de Jerosolymis, et de Judæa, et de trans Jordanem.
