Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.

And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.

Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,

Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.

Now when it came to his ears that John had been put in prison, he went away to Galilee;

And news of him went out through all Syria; and they took to him all who were ill with different diseases and pains, those having evil spirits and those who were off their heads, and those who had no power of moving. And he made them well.

And they went straight from the boat and their father and came after him.

So that the word of the prophet Isaiah might come true,

And there went after him great numbers from Galilee and Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judaea and from the other side of Jordan.

And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men.

The people who were in the dark saw a great light, and to those in the land of the shade of death did the dawn come up.

The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, the other side of Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
