4.
UJesu wasekhokhelwa nguMoya wamusa enkangala ukuthi ayelingwa nguSathane. 
Emva kokuzila ukudla okwensuku ezingamatshumi amane lobusuku obungamatshumi amane wayeselambile. 
Umlingi weza kuye wathi, “Nxa uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu tshela amatshe la aphenduke abe yisinkwa.” 
UJesu waphendula wathi, “Kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Umuntu kayikuphila ngesinkwa kuphela kodwa ngelizwi lonke eliphuma emlonyeni kaNkulunkulu.’” 
USathane wasemthatha wamusa emzini ongcwele, wamisa engqongweni yethempeli. 
Wathi kuye, “Nxa uyiNdodana kaNkulunkulu, ziphosele phansi. Njengoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Uzalaya izingilosi zakhe ngawe, zikuqage ngezandla zazo, ukuze ungatshayeki ngonyawo lwakho elitsheni.’” 
UJesu wamphendula wathi, “Kulotshiwe ukuthi, ‘Ungayilingi iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho.’” 
Waphinda njalo uSathane wamusa entabeni ephakemeyo kakhulu, wamtshengisa yonke imibuso yomhlaba lokucwebezela kwayo. 
Wathi, “Ngizakunika konke lokhu nxa ungangikhothamela, ungikhonze.” 
UJesu wathi kuye, “Suka kimi Sathane! Ngoba kulotshiwe ukuthi: ‘Khonza iNkosi uNkulunkulu wakho njalo usebenzele yena yedwa.’” 
USathane wasemtshiya, izingilosi zabuya zazomkhonza. 
UJesu wathi esizwa ukuthi uJohane wayesevalelwe entolongweni, wabuyela eGalile. 
Wasuka eNazaretha wayahlala eKhaphenawume eyayisokhunjini lomfula emangweni wakoZebhuluni lakoNafithali, 
ukugcwalisa lokho okwatshiwo ngomphrofethi u-Isaya ukuthi: 
“Lizwe likaZebhuluni lelizwe likaNafithali, iNdlela eya oLwandle, phetsheya kweJodani, iGalile yabeZizweni, 
abantu ababehlezi emnyameni sebebone ukukhanya okukhulu; kulabo abahlezi elizweni lethunzi lokufa, ukukhanya sekufikile.” 
Kusukela ngalesosikhathi uJesu waqalisa ukutshumayela esithi, “Phendukani ngoba umbuso wezulu ususondele.” 
Kwathi uJesu ehamba okhunjini loLwandle lwaseGalile wabona izelamani ezimbili, uSimoni owayethiwa nguPhethro lomfowabo u-Andreya. Babephosela umambule olwandle ngoba bengabagoli benhlanzi. 
UJesu wathi, “Wozani lingilandele,ngizalenza abagoli babantu.” 
Masinyane nje batshiya omambule babo bamlandela. 
Esuka lapho wabona ezinye izelamani ezimbili, uJakhobe indodana kaZebhediya lomfowabo uJohane. Babephakathi kwesikepe loyise uZebhediya, belungisa omambule babo. UJesu wababiza, 
baphanga batshiya isikepe kanye loyise bamlandela. 
UJesu wahamba kulolonke iGalile efundisa emasinagogweni abo, etshumayela izindaba ezinhle zombuso, esilisa zonke izifo lemikhuhlane ebantwini. 
Udumo lwakhe lwagcwala kulolonke elase-Asiriya, abantu baletha kuye bonke ababegula belezifo ezehlukeneyo, labo ababesebuhlungwini obukhulu, ababephethwe ngamadimoni, ababelezithuthwane lababeyizilima, bonke wabasilisa. 
Amaxuku amakhulu ayevela eGalile, eDekhapholisi, eJerusalema, eJudiya lasemangweni ongaphetsheya kweJodani amlandela.
