1 A seguir, foi Jesus levado pelo Espírito ao deserto, para ser tentado pelo diabo. 2 E, depois de jejuar quarenta dias e quarenta noites, teve fome. 3 Então, o tentador, aproximando-se, lhe disse: Se és Filho de Deus, manda que estas pedras se transformem em pães. 4 Jesus, porém, respondeu: Está escrito:

Não só de pão viverá o homem, mas de toda palavra que procede da boca de Deus.

5 Então, o diabo o levou à Cidade Santa, colocou-o sobre o pináculo do templo 6 e lhe disse: Se és Filho de Deus, atira-te abaixo, porque está escrito:

Aos seus anjos ordenará a teu respeito que te guardem;

e:

Eles te susterão nas suas mãos, para não tropeçares nalguma pedra.

7 Respondeu-lhe Jesus: Também está escrito:

Não tentarás o Senhor, teu Deus.

8 Levou-o ainda o diabo a um monte muito alto, mostrou-lhe todos os reinos do mundo e a glória deles 9 e lhe disse: Tudo isto te darei se, prostrado, me adorares. 10 Então, Jesus lhe ordenou: Retira-te, Satanás, porque está escrito:

Ao Senhor, teu Deus, adorarás, e só a ele darás culto.

11 Com isto, o deixou o diabo, e eis que vieram anjos e o serviram.

1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he afterward hungered. 3 And the tempter came and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. 4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil taketh him into the holy city; and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and saith unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written,

He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:

and,

On their hands they shall bear thee up,

Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God. 8 Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; 9 and he said unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. 10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11 Then the devil leaveth him; and behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted "by the devil.

2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

3 The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

4 Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' ""

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple.

6 "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' ""

7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' ""

8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

10 Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: 'Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' ""

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
