Matthew 4 — SBL Greek New Testament

1

Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνήχθη εἰς τὴν ἔρημον ὑπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος, πειρασθῆναι ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου.

Then Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil.

2

καὶ νηστεύσας ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα ὕστερον ἐπείνασεν.

And after fasting for forty days and forty nights, he became hungry.

3

καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ πειράζων εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται.

And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, say that these stones become bread.

4

But he answered, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word going out through the mouth of God.

5

Τότε παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς τὴν ἁγίαν πόλιν, καὶ ἔστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ πτερύγιον τοῦ ἱεροῦ,

Then the devil took him into the holy city and set him on the wing of the temple,

6

And he 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 will not strike your foot against a stone.

7

ἔφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Πάλιν γέγραπται· Οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου.

Jesus said to him, It is also written, You shall not test 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

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· Ταῦτά σοι πάντα δώσω, ἐὰν πεσὼν προσκυνήσῃς μοι.

And he said to him, I will give you all these things, if you fall down and worship me.

10

τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς· Ὕπαγε, Σατανᾶ· γέγραπται γάρ· Κύριον τὸν θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις.

Then Jesus said to him, Go away, Satan, for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God and him alone you shall serve.

11

τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἄγγελοι προσῆλθον καὶ διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.

Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

12

Ἀκούσας δὲ ὅτι Ἰωάννης παρεδόθη ἀνεχώρησεν εἰς τὴν Γαλιλαίαν.

Now when he heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee.

13

καὶ καταλιπὼν τὴν Ναζαρὰ ἐλθὼν κατῴκησεν εἰς Καφαρναοὺμ τὴν παραθαλασσίαν ἐν ὁρίοις Ζαβουλὼν καὶ Νεφθαλίμ·

And leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum by the sea, in the territory of Zebulun and Naphtali.

14

ἵνα πληρωθῇ τὸ ῥηθὲν διὰ Ἠσαΐου τοῦ προφήτου λέγοντος·

so that what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet might be fulfilled, saying,

15

Γῆ Ζαβουλὼν καὶ γῆ Νεφθαλίμ, ὁδὸν θαλάσσης, πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου, Γαλιλαία τῶν ἐθνῶν,

Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, by the sea road, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations,

16

The people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and for those sitting in the land and shadow of death, a light has dawned on them.

17

Ἀπὸ τότε ἤρξατο ὁ Ἰησοῦς κηρύσσειν καὶ λέγειν· Μετανοεῖτε, ἤγγικεν γὰρ ἡ βασιλεία τῶν οὐρανῶν.

From that time Jesus began to proclaim and say, Repent, for the kingdom of the heavens has come near.

18

While walking beside the sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

19

καὶ λέγει αὐτοῖς· Δεῦτε ὀπίσω μου, καὶ ποιήσω ὑμᾶς ἁλιεῖς ἀνθρώπων.

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

20

οἱ δὲ εὐθέως ἀφέντες τὰ δίκτυα ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.

And they immediately, leaving the nets, followed him.

21

And leaving there, he saw two other brothers, James the son of Zebedee and John his brother, mending their nets in the boat with Zebedee their father, and he called them.

22

οἱ δὲ εὐθέως ἀφέντες τὸ πλοῖον καὶ τὸν πατέρα αὐτῶν ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ.

And they immediately, leaving the boat and their father, followed him.

23

And he went throughout all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every sickness among the people.

24

And his fame went out into all Syria, and they brought to him all who were suffering, those afflicted with various diseases and pains, those possessed by demons, those suffering from epilepsy, and paralytics, and he healed them.

25

καὶ ἠκολούθησαν αὐτῷ ὄχλοι πολλοὶ ἀπὸ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ Δεκαπόλεως καὶ Ἱεροσολύμων καὶ Ἰουδαίας καὶ πέραν τοῦ Ἰορδάνου.

And great crowds followed him from Galilee and the Decapolis and Jerusalem and Judea and beyond the Jordan.
