1 Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.

2 And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.

3 And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.

4 But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.

5 Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,

6 If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

7 Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

8 Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;

9 And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship.

10 Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only.

11 Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.

1 随后， 耶稣被圣灵带到旷野， 受魔鬼的试探。

2 耶稣禁食了四十昼夜， 就饿了，

3 试探者前来对他说： "你若是 神的儿子， 就吩咐这些石头变成食物吧！ "

4 耶稣回答： "经上记着： ‘人活着， 不是单靠食物， 更要靠 神口里所出的一切话。’"

5 随后， 魔鬼带耶稣进了圣城， 使他站在殿顶上，

6 对他说： "你若是 神的儿子， 就跳下去吧！ 因为经上记着： ‘ 神为了你， 会吩咐自己的使者用手托住你， 免得你的脚碰到石头。’"

7 耶稣对他说： "经上又记着： ‘不可试探主你的 神。’"

8 最后， 魔鬼带耶稣上了一座极高的山， 把世界各国和各国的荣华都指给他看。

9 并且对他说： "你只要跪下来拜我， 我就把这一切都给你。"

10 但耶稣说： "撒但， 走开！ 经上记着： ‘当拜主你的 神， 单要事奉他。’"

11 于是魔鬼离开了耶稣， 有天使前来服事他。
