Chapter 4: (Introduction to the Gospels, Coding Reference)
1At that time the Jesus was led into the one uninhabited from under the spirit to have been contested from under the one slanderous. 2And he, having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards hungered.
3And having come forward the one [slanderer] contesting said to him: “If you are a son of the god, say you so that these, the stones, might become to loaves of bread.”
4Moreover the one [Jesus], having replied, said, “It has been written not upon bread alone will a person live but upon all a message proceeding forth through a mouth of a god.”
5Then the one slanderous takes him along into the sacred city, and he ╓stands╖ ┌stood┐ him onto the turret of the temple. 6And he says to him, “If you are a son of the god, cast you yourself downwards for it has been written that he will enjoin to the universal messengers of him around you, and they will lift you up upon hands lest perchance you might strike against the foot of you towards a stone.”
7The Jesus was asserting to him, “Again it has been written that you will not tempt a lord, the god, of you.”
8Again the one slanderous takes him along into a very greatly elevated mountain, and he displays to him all the dominions of the world-order and the renown of them, 9and he ╓says╖ ┌said┐ to him, “All these I will give freely to you, if you, having fallen, might make obeisance to me.”
10At that time the Jesus says to him, “Adversary! Depart you ╥back of me╥! For it has been written, you will make obeisance {towards} a lord, the god, of you, and you will be in servitude to him alone.”
11At that time the one slanderous dismisses him. And lo, universal messengers came forward; and they were serving him.
12Moreover ╓the Jesus╖ ┌he┐, having heard that a John was handed over, retreated into the Galilee. 13And he, having left the Nazareth {and} having come into a Capernaum, the one beside the sea within a territory, a Zebulun and a Naphthali, inhabited {there}, 14so that it might be fulfilled the one having been said through an Isaiah, the prophet, saying, 15“A Galilee of the nations, land, a Zebulun, and land, Naphthali, a way of the sea across the Jordan River, 16the people, the ones being seated within a darkness, a great light observed, and to the ones being seated within a country and a shadow of a death a light rose to them.”
17From at that time the Jesus began to herald and to say, “Change you mind and heart for the dominion of the universes has drawn near.”
18Moreover ┬the Jesus┬ ╔he╗, walking beside the Sea of the Galilee, observed two brothers: a Simon, the one being called‹a› Peter, and an Andrew, the brother of him, casting around a net into the sea for they were fishers. 19And he says to them, “Come back of me, and I will make you fishers of humanity.”
20Moreover the ones, having immediately dismissed the fishing nets, followed him. 21And he, having continued on thence, observed two other brothers: a James, the one‹b› of the Zebedee, and a John, the brother of him, within the fishing boat with a Zebedee, the father of them, adjusting the fishing nets of them, and he called them. 22Moreover the ones, immediately having dismissed the fishing boat and the father of them, followed him.
23And ╓the Jesus╖ ┌he┐, teaching within the sacred assemblies of them, [Israelites’]; and heralding the good news of the dominion; and medically treating all an insanity and all a weakness within the people, was circulating ┌within┐ the whole Galilee.
24And the hearsay of him went forth into the whole Syria, and they brought forward to him all the ones having illness {under} various insanities, and {the ones} being confined with agonies, and {the ones} being maniacal, and {the ones} being moonstruck, and {the ones} paralyzed; and he treated them medically.
25And many crowds followed him from the Galilee, and a Decapolis, and a Jerusalem, and a Judea, and across the Jordan River.

‹a›The Greek is λέγω, legō, meaning to say but the context here is to name which is commonly stated to call.
‹b›The Greek is ὁ, ho used singularly as a demonstrative pronoun, the one; however the Greek also implies the word υἱός, son and could be translated as the {son} where the brackets indicate an implied Greek word.
