1 Entónces Jesús fue llevado al desierto por el Espíritu, para ser tentado del diablo. 2 Y habiendo ayunado quarenta días y quarenta noches, después tuvo hambre. 3 Y llegándose á él el tentador, le dixo: Si eres hijo de Dios, di que éstas piedras se hagan panes. 4 El qual le respondió y dixo: Escrito está: No de solo pan vive el hombre, mas de toda palabra, que sale de la boca de Dios. 5 Entonces le tomó el diablo, y le llevó á la santa ciudad, y le puso sobre la almena del templo, 6 Y le dixo: Si eres hijo de Dios, échate de aquí abaxo, porque escrito está: Que mandó á sus Angeles acerca de tí, y te tomarán en palmas, porque no tropiezes en piedra con tu pie. 7 Jesús le dixo: También está escrito: No tentarás al Señor tu Dios. 8 De nuevo le subió el diablo á un monte muy alto; y le mostró todos los reynos del mundo, y la gloria de ellos, 9 Y le dixo: Todo esto te daré, si cayendo me adoráres. 10 Entonces le dixo Jesús: Vete, Satanás, porque escrito está: Al Señor tu Dios adorarás, y á él solo servirás. 11 Entonces le dexó el diablo: y he aquí los Angeles llegaron y le servían, 12 Y quando oyó Jesús, que Juan estaba preso, se retiró á la Galiléa: 13 Y dexando la ciudad de Nazareth, fué á morar á Capharnaum, ciudad marítima, en los confines de Zabulón, y de Nephthalim: 14 Para que se cumpliese, lo que dixo Isaías el Propheta. 15 Tierra de Zabulón, y tierra de Nephthalim, camino de la mar, de la otra parte del Jordán, Galiléa de los Gentiles, 16 Pueblo, que estaba sentado en tinieblas, vió una grande luz: y á los que moraban en tierra de sombra de muerte, luz les nació. 17 Desde entonces comenzó Jesús á predicar y á decir: Haced penitencia, porque se ha acercado el reyno de los cielos. 18 Y yendo Jesús por la ribera de la mar de Galiléa, vió dos hermanos, Simon, que es llamado Pedro, y Andres su hermano, que echaban la red en la mar (pues eran pescadores), 19 Y les dixo: Venid en pos de mí, y haré que vosotros seáis pescadores de hombres. 20 Y ellos al instante dexadas las redes, le siguieron. 21 Y pasando de allí, vió otros dos hermanos, Santiago de Zebedéo, y Juan su hermano, en un barco con Zebedéo su padre, que remendaban sus redes; y los llamó. 22 Y ellos al punto dexadas las redes y el padre, le siguieron. 23 Y andaba Jesús rodeando toda la Galiléa, enseñando en las Synagogas de ellos, y predicando el Evangelio del reyno, y sanando toda enfermedad, y toda dolencia en el pueblo. 24 Y corrió su fama por toda la Syria, y le traxéron todos los que lo pasaban mal, poseídos de varios achaques y dolores, y los endemoniados, y los lunáticos, y los paralyticos, y los sanó: 25 Y le fuéron siguiendo muchas tropas de la Galiléa, y de Decápolis, y de Jerusalém, y de Judéa, y de la otra ribera del Jordán.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Then. When? After the descent of the Spirit, after the voice that was borne from above, and said, "This is My Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." And what was marvellous, it was of the Holy Spirit; for this, he here saith, led Him up.

If the Master Himself followed the right time in due order, ought we, His servants, to venture out of order? From that time Jesus began to preach, when the Holy Spirit had descended upon Him in a bodily shape, like a dove; not that Jesus might see Him first, for He knew Him even before He came in a …
