Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the devil. Jesus ate nothing for 40days and nights. After this, he was very hungty. The devil came to Jesus to tempt him. The devil said. "If you are the Son of God, tell these rocks to become bread." Jesus answered, "It is written in the Scriptures. 'A person does not live only by eating bread. But a person lives by everything the Lord says.'" Then the devil led Jesus to the holy city of Jerusalem. He put Jesus on a very high place of the Temple. The devil said, "If you are the Son of God, jump off. It is written in the Scriptures. 'He has put his angels in charge of you. They will catch you with their hands. And you will not hit your foot on a rock.'" Jesus answered him. "It also says in the Scriptures, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'" Then the devil led Jesus to the top of a very high mountain. He shoved Jesus all the kingdoms of the world and all the great things that are in those kingdoms. The devil said, "If you will bow down and worship me, I will give you all these things." Jesus said to the devil, "Go away from me, Satan! It is written in the Scriptures. 'You must worship the Lord you God. Serve only him!'" So the devil left Jesus. And then some angels came to Jesus and helped him. Jesus heard that John had been put in prison. So Jesus went back to Galilee. He left Nazareth and went and lived in Cpermaum, a town near Lake Galilee. Carpernaum is the area near Zebulun and Naphtali. Jesus did this to make true what the prophet Isaih said: "Land of Zebulun and land of Naptali are on the way to the sea. They are along the Jordan River. This is Galilee where the non-Jewish people live. These people who live in darkness will see a great light. They live in a place that is very dark. But a light will shine on him." From that time Jesus began to preach, saying "Change your hearts and lives, because the kingdom of heaven is coming soon." Jesus was walking by Lake Galilee. He was two brothers, Simon(called Peter) and Simon's brother Andrew. The brothers were fishermen, and they were fishing in the lake with a net. Jesus said, "Come follow me. I will make you fishermen for men." At once Simon and Andrew left their nets and followed him. Jesus continued walking by Lake Galilee. Hew saw two other brothers, James and John, the son of Zebedee. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets to catch fish. Jesus told them to come with him. At once they left the boat and their father, and they followed Jesus. Jesus went everywhere in Galilee. He taught in the synagogus and preached the Good News about the kingom of heaven. And he healed all the people's diseases and sickness. the news about Jesus spread all over Syria, and people brought all the sick to him. These sick people were suffering from different kinds of diseases and pain, some had demons, some were epiliptics, and some were paralyzed. Jesus healed all of them. Many people followed him. They came from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, Judae, and the land across the Jordan River.
