MATTHEW 4 Summary: We read that Jesus is led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness and fasts for forty days. He is then tempted by the devil in various ways. But Christ overcomes the devil by using the Word of God (1-11). He stays at Capernaum and fulfils a prophecy of Isaiah by preaching in Galilee (12-17). Later he calls Peter, Andrew, James, and John to become his first disciples by following Him (18-22). He teaches in the synagogues and heals those with diseases. And so many people start following him as His fame spreads in the country. (23-25)
