¹Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil, ²and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger. ³And the Tempter having come to him said, ‘If Son thou art of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.’ ⁴But he answering said, ‘It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.’ ⁵Then doth the Devil take him to the holy city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶and saith to him, ‘If Son thou art of God—cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.’ ⁷Jesus said to him again, ‘It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’ ⁸Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, ⁹and saith to him, ‘All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.’ ¹⁰Then saith Jesus to him, ‘Go—Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.’ ¹¹Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
