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 up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

3 And the Tempter having come to him said, If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.

4 But 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.

5 Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6 and 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.

7 Jesus said to him again, It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again 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,

9 and saith to him, All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.

10 Then 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.

11 Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
