Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

command Luke 4:3

But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Man Deut 8:3, Luke 4:4

5

Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
holy city
pinnacle Luke 4:9

6

And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Son of God
He shall Psa 91:11,12 Luke 4:10,11

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Thou Deut 6:16, Luke 4:12

Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
world Matt 16:26, 1st John 2:15

9

And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Thou Deut 6:13, Deut 10:20, Luke 4:8

Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
Galilee Mark 1:14, Luke 4:14, John 4:43

13

And leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in Capernaum, which is upon the sea coast, in the borders of Zabulon and Nephthalim:
Capernaum Matt 9:1, Matt 11:23, Mark 1:21, Mark 2:1, Luke 4:23, Luke 4:31, John 2:12

14

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,

15

The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
The land Isa 9:1

16

The people which sat in darkness saw great light; and to them which sat in the region and shadow of death light is sprung up.
The people Isa 9:2, Isa 42:7, Isa 60:1, Luke 2:32, Eph 5:14

17

From that time Jesus began to preach, and to say, Repent: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.
kingdom Dan 2:44, Matt 3:2, Matt 4:23, Matt 6:10, Matt 10:7, Matt 12:28, Luke 10:9, Luke 11:20, Luke 21:31

18

And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.
Simon Mark 1:16, Luke 5:2, John 1:40

19

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
Follow Mark 1:17, Luke 5:10

20

And they straightway left their nets, and followed him.
left Matt 4:22, 19:27, Mark 1:18, 20, 10:28, Luke 5:11, 18:28

21

And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.
Zebedee Matt 10:2, Matt 20:20, Matt 26:37, Mark 1:19,20, Mark 10:35

22

And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him.
left Matt 4:20, 19:27, Mark 1:18, 20, 10:28, Luke 5:11, 18:28

23

And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
kingdom Dan 2:44, Matt 3:2, Matt 4:17, Matt 6:10, Matt 10:7, Matt 12:28, Luke 10:9, Luke 11:20, Luke 21:31

24

And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them.
divers
healed Matt 9:35, Mark 1:34

And there followed him great multitudes of people from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jerusalem, and from Judaea, and from beyond Jordan.
multitudes Mark 3:7
