1And Jesus, 2full of the Holy Spirit, 3returned from the Jordan and was led 4by the Spirit in the wilderness
2
for 5forty days, 6being tempted by the devil. 7And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, 8he was hungry.
3
The devil said to him, "If you are 9the Son of God, command 10this stone to become bread."
4
And Jesus answered him, 11"It is written, 12'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"
5
13And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
6
and said to him, "To you 14I will give all this authority and their glory, 15for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.
7
If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours."
8
And Jesus answered him, 16"It is written, 17"'You shall worship the Lord your God, and 18him only shall you serve.'"
9
19And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, "If you are 20the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,
10
for it is written, 21"'He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you,'
11
and 22"'On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"
12
And Jesus answered him, "It is said, 23'You shall not 24put the Lord your God to the test.'"
13
And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him 25until an opportune time.
