1  But Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2  forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered. 3  And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread. 4  And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5  And the devil, leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time. 6  And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it. 7  If therefore thou wilt do homage before me, all of it shall be thine. 8  And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. 9  And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence; 10  for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee; 11  and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone. 12  And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 13  And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.

14  And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee; and a rumour went out into the whole surrounding country about him; 15  and he taught in their synagogues, being glorified of all.
