Matthew 4 is the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament of Christian Bible. [1] [2] Many translations of the gospel and biblical commentaries separate the first section of chapter 4 (verses 1-11, Matthew's account of the Temptation of Christ by the devil) from the remaining sections, which deal with Jesus' first public preaching and the gathering of his first disciples.
Shedinger rejects the traditional view that Matthew 4:16 is merely a corrupted version of Isaiah 9:2. Rather he feels that in the earliest version of Matthew this verse was a combination of Isaiah 9:2 and Psalm 107:10 , however later translators missed the second OT reference and over time altered the verse to make it conform more to Isaiah.
In several modern versions, this is treated as a continuation of 12:17 or as a complete verse numbered 12:18: RV: "And he stood upon the sand of the sea."

[2] Throughout Matthew, the devil and his evil underlings are always overpowered (cf. Matthew 4:23; 8:16, 28; 9:32; 12:22; 15:22; 17:18; 23:39). [2] Jesus again ...
The author of Matthew considerably abbreviates the verse. France notes that Matthew seems to only be interested in highlighting the locations, such that the grammatical links that make Isaiah 9:1 comprehensible are left out. [2] Yet the following OT verse , which points towards the salvation of a Messiah, is quoted in full in the following NT ...
This verse is based on Mark 1:16, with only a few changes. Matthew adds "two brothers", perhaps to make the relationship more explicit, or in Nolland's view to make the calling in this verse more closely parallel the calling of James and John. [1] Matthew 4:13 has Jesus living in the town of Capernaum, by the Sea of Galilee. However, the other ...
