lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"
7 Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord
your God.'" 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and
showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory. 9 And he said
to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away, Satan! for it is written,
'You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.'"
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to
him.
12 Now when Jesus heard that John had been put in prison, he
withdrew to Galilee. 13 And leaving Nazareth, he went and dwelt in
Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah might be fulfilled:
15 "The land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali,
the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentilesó
16 the people who sat in darkness
have seen a great light,
and on those who sat in the region and shadow of death
light has dawned."
17 From that time Jesus began to preach and say, "Repent, for
the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
18 As Jesus was walking 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. 19 And he said to them, "Follow
me, and I will make you fishers of men." 20 Immediately they left their
nets and followed him. 21 Going 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. And he called them, 22 and
immediately they left the boat 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 every
disease and every sickness among the people. 24 Then his fame spread
throughout all Syria, and they brought to him all sick people who were
afflicted with various diseases and pains, and those who were demon-
possessed, epileptics, and paralytics, and he healed them. 25 Great
crowds followed himófrom Galilee, and from the Decapolis, Jerusalem,
Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on a mountain, and when he sat
down his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and taught
them, saying:
3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4 Blessed are those who mourn,
for they shall be comforted.
5 Blessed are the meek,
for they shall inherit the earth.
6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they shall be filled.
7 Blessed are the merciful,
for they shall obtain mercy.
8 Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they shall see God.
9 Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they shall be called sons of God.
10 Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
