Day 4: They Forsook All, and Followed Him

Thursday, Day 4:  Matthew 4; Luke 4-5; John 1: 35-51

"Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;  And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me."

"Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan:  for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."  (Matthew 4: 8-10)

"And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up:  and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.  

And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias.  And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of the Lord."

"And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down.  

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.  And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears." (Luke 4: 14-21)

"And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea:  for they were fishers.  

And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.  

And they straightway left their nets, and followed him."

"And going on from thence, he saw other two brethren, James ... and John his brother, in a ship with Zebedee their father, mending their nets; and he called them.  

And they immediately left the ship and their father, and followed him."  (Matthew 4: 18-22)
