English Majority Text Version 2009

New Testament

 

   

4:1Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil.
4:2And having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.
4:3And approaching Him, the tempter said, "If You are the Son of God, speak so that these stones may become bread."
4:4But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.' "
4:5Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,
4:6and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels orders concerning you,' and, 'In their hands they will lift you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.' "
4:7Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.' "
4:8Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
4:9And he said to Him, "All these things will I give You, if You will fall down and worship me."
4:10Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him alone you shall serve.' "
4:11Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
4:12Now when Jesus heard that John had been imprisoned, He departed into Galilee.
4:13And leaving Nazareth behind, He came and settled down in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the regions of Zebulun and Naphtali,
4:14so that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying:
4:15"The land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, by the way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles,
4:16the people sitting in darkness have seen a great light, and to those who sat in the land and the shadow of death, light sprang up on them."
4:17From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand."
4:18Now as He was walking alongside the Sea of Galilee, He saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.
4:19Then He said to them, "Come after Me, and I will make you fishers of men."
4:20They immediately left their nets and followed Him.
4:21And having gone forth from there, He saw two other brothers, James the [son] of Zebedee, and John his brother, in the boat with Zebedee their father, mending their nets. And He called them.
4:22And immediately they left the boat and their father, and followed Him.
4:23And Jesus went about all of Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and every illness among the people.
4:24And the report of Him went throughout all Syria; and they brought to Him all those who were ill, and [who were ]suffering with various diseases and torments, and those who were demon-possessed, epileptics, and paralytics; and He healed them.
4:25And large crowds followed Him from Galilee and from Decapolis, and Jerusalem, and Judea, and beyond the Jordan.

PREFACE

Welcome to the third edition of The English Majority Text Version (EMTV) of the Holy Bible. This latest edition has Greek explanatory notes throughout the Bible, to aid the reader in understanding the meanings in some select places of the original Koine Greek. Also, the third edition finds itself closer to the Robinson/Pierpoint printed edition of the Byzantine majority text, rather than the Hodges/Farstad text, which the EMTV was translated from. You will notice these differences in John 7:53-8:11, as well as the entire book of Revelation.

The English Majority Text Version draws from the work of both Dr.’s Hodges and Farstad, and their text, “The Greek New Testament According to the Majority Text,” as well as from Dr. Wilbur Pickering, ThM. PhD., and the EMTV has incorporated his hard work in the field of producing evidence of just what does constitute a majority reading, and, as a result of his work, and the work of others, John 7:53-8:11, and the book of Revelation reflect these variant readings. This is one of the great things about having a Bible that is translated from the majority of the trustworthy Byzantine manuscripts that are in existence—the much greater probability of accuracy.

On the other side of the fence, most modern Bibles are translated from a few scant manuscripts (literally), and more often than not they do not even agree with each other. Not so with a Bible that is translated out of the majority! The experts in linguistics who have put these readings together, and diligently compared the manuscripts, had hundreds and hundreds of manuscripts to compare. It is my prayer that this work will bring honor to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and to our God and Father; because all of this, all that we do, we do to know Him better, and to better understand His word, which He has given to mankind. “Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to those who put their trust in Him. Do not add to His words, Lest He rebuke you, and you be found a liar. (Prove 30:5,6). Peace of Christ to you all. In His service, Paul W Esposito Stauros Ministries
