1 Tuomet Jėzus buvo Dvasios nuvestas į dykumą, kad būtų velnio gundomas.

2 Išpasninkavęs keturiasdešimt dienų ir keturiasdešimt naktų, Jis buvo alkanas.

3 Prie Jo prisiartino gundytojas ir tarė: "Jei Tu Dievo Sūnus, liepk, kad šie akmenys pavirstų duona".

4 Bet Jėzus atsakė: "Parašyta: ‘Žmogus gyvens ne viena duona, bet kiekvienu žodžiu, išeinančiu iš Dievo lūpų’ ".

5 Tada velnias paėmė Jį į šventąjį miestą, pastatė ant šventyklos šelmens

6 ir tarė Jam: "Jei Tu Dievo Sūnus, pulk žemyn, nes parašyta: ‘Jis lieps savo angelams globoti Tave, ir jie nešios Tave ant rankų, kad neužsigautum kojos į akmenį’ ".

7 Jėzus jam atsakė: "Taip pat parašyta: ‘Negundyk Viešpaties, savo Dievo’ ".

8 Velnias vėl paėmė Jį į labai aukštą kalną ir, rodydamas viso pasaulio karalystes bei jų šlovę,

9 tarė Jam: "Visa tai aš Tau atiduosiu, jei parpuolęs pagarbinsi mane".

10 Tada Jėzus jam atsakė: "Eik šalin nuo manęs, šėtone! Nes parašyta: ‘Viešpatį, savo Dievą, tegarbink ir Jam vienam tetarnauk!’ "

11 Tuomet velnias nuo Jo atsitraukė, ir štai angelai prisiartino ir Jam tarnavo.

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.
