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.
