Matthew 4:8-17 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. Again, the devil took him up, onto a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory,

9. and said to him, "All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me."

10. Then Jesus said to him: "Go away, Satan. For it has been written: 'You shall adore the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.' "

11. Then the devil left him. And behold, Angels approached and ministered to him.

12. And when Jesus had heard that John had been handed over, he withdrew into Galilee.

13. And leaving behind the city of Nazareth, he went and lived in Capernaum, near the sea, at the borders of Zebulun and of Naphtali,

14. in order to fulfill what was said through the prophet Isaiah:

15. "Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the way of the sea across the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:

16. A people who were sitting in darkness have seen a great light. And unto those sitting in the region of the shadow of death, a light has risen."

17. From that time, Jesus began to preach, and to say: "Repent. For the kingdom of heaven has drawn near."
