Matthew 4

After His baptism, the Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness for forty days to be tempted by the devil. Jesus successfully resists all three temptations by quoting Scripture, demonstrating His perfect obedience. Jesus then begins His ministry in Galilee, preaching the message of repentance because the Kingdom of Heaven is near. He calls His first four disciples—Simon (Peter), Andrew, James, and John—and begins healing every disease and sickness among the people, establishing His divine authority.
