1 Then was Jesus conducted by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.3 Then the tempter accosting him, said, If thou be God's Son, command that these stones become loaves.4 «Jesus answering, said, It is written,'Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint.'»5 Then the devil conveyed him into the holy city, and having placed him on the battlement of the temple,6 «said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down; for it is written,» 'He will give his angels the charge of thee: they shall uphold thee in their arms, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.'7 «Jesus again answered, It is written,'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'»8 Again the devil took him up a very high mountain, whence he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their glory,9 and said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt prostrate thyself, and worship me.10 «Jesus answered, Satan, begone; for it is written,'Thou shalt worship the Lord they God, and shall serve him only.'»11 Then the devil leaving him, angels came and ministered to him.
