Matthew 4 - Contemporary English Version Interconfessional Edition（CEVDCI）

Jesus and the Devil(Mark 1.12,13; Luke 4.1-13)

1 for 40 days and nights, he was very hungry.

3Then the devil came to him and said, “If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread.”

14So God's promise came true, just as the prophet Isaiah had said,

15 Jesus Chooses Four Fishermen(Mark 1.16-20; Luke 5.1-11)

18While Jesus was walking along the shore of Lake Galilee, he saw two brothers. One was Simon, also known as Peter, and the other was Andrew. They were fishermen, and they were casting their net into the lake.

19Jesus said to them, “Follow me! I will teach you how to bring in people instead of fish.”

20Right then the two brothers dropped their nets and went with him.

21Jesus walked on until he saw James and John, the sons of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father, mending their nets. Jesus asked them to come with him.

22At once they left the boat and their father and went with Jesus.

Jesus Teaches, Preaches, and Heals(Luke 6.17-19)

23 and still others could not walk. But Jesus healed them all.

25Large crowds followed Jesus from Galilee and the region around the ten cities known as Decapolis. They also came from Jerusalem, Judea, and from across the Jordan River.
