This is a parallel scripture presentation of Matthew 4:1–25 in three versions: the Greek New Testament (GNT), the King James Version (KJV), and the Latin Vulgate (Vul) — the kind of resource used in biblical scholarship and translation comparison. The passage covers four narrative units: Jesus's three temptations by the devil in the wilderness (turning stones to bread, leaping from the Temple, and receiving all earthly kingdoms in exchange for worship), each defeated by Jesus quoting Deuteronomy; his withdrawal to Galilee after John's arrest and settlement in Capernaum, framed as fulfillment of Isaiah's prophecy about "the people sitting in darkness"; the calling of Simon Peter, Andrew, James, and John from their fishing nets; and a summary of Jesus's itinerant ministry of teaching, preaching, and healing throughout Galilee, drawing crowds from across the region. The KJV column includes Strong's Concordance numbers interleaved with the English words, making it specifically useful for word-level cross-referencing between the Greek and English. There is no interpretive commentary — the text functions as a raw comparative tool for readers doing close linguistic or theological study of the Synoptic tradition.
