¹Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil: ²and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered. ³And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread. ⁴But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God’s mouth. ⁵Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple, ⁶and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone. ⁷Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. ⁸Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory, ⁹and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage. ¹⁰Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve. ¹¹Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
