Matthew

Ruh Allah led Isa into the wilderness so that Iblis could tempt him.

After Isa did a sawm for forty days, night and day, he was hungry.

Then Al-Shaitan the tempter came to him and said, "If you are the beloved Amir of Allah, command these stones to become bread."

He answered him, "In the Tawrat it is written: A person does not live by bread only, but by every word that comes from the mouth of Allah."

Then Iblis took him to the holy city and made him stand on the top of the house of Allah.

He told him, "If you are the beloved Amir of Allah, throw yourself down, for it is written in the Zabur: He will command his angels to take care of you. On their hands they will carry you, so that your foot will not kick a stone."

Isa answered, "It is also written: Do not tempt Allah, your Mawla."

Then Al-Shaitan took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, and all their majesty.

He told him, "I will give you all these if you kneel and bow down to me."

Then Isa told him, "Go away from me, Al-Shaitan! It is written in the Tawrat: Bow down to Allah your Mawla, and serve him only."

So Iblis left him, and angels came and took care of him.

When he heard about the arrest of Yahya, he went to Al-Jalil.

He came from Al-Nasira to live in the town of Capernaum at the shore of the lake, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali.

This fulfilled what Allah said by the tongue of the nabi Isaiah:

"Land of Zebulun and Naphtali on the road of the sea east of the Jordan River in the region of Al-Jalil that belongs to the kuffar,

the people sitting in darkness have seen a great light. Light has shone on those sitting in the regions of the shadow of death."

Starting at that time, Isa preached, "Repent, because the kingdom of heaven has approached."

Isa was walking on the shore of Al-Jalil Lake, and he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were throwing their nets in the lake, because they were fishermen.

He told them, "Follow me and I will make you gather people instead of fish."

Immediately they left their nets and followed him.

Then he walked further and saw Yacoub son of Zebedee and his brother John in a boat with their father fixing their nets. He called them to himself.

And immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him.

He went around in all the region of Al-Jalil, teaching in their houses of salat, preaching the good news of the kingdom of Allah, and healing all the sicknesses and diseases of the people.

His reputation spread through all Syria. They brought him those who had sicknesses and various pains, those who had been touched by jinn, the insane, and those who were paralyzed, and he healed them all.

So large crowds followed him from Al-Jalil, the Decapolis, Al-Quds, Yahudia, and the East Bank.
