1 Depois disto, Jesus foi levado pelo Espírito Santo ao deserto para aí ser tentado pelo Diabo. Durante quarenta dias e quarenta noites nada comeu; por fim sentiu fome.

3 Então o Tentador instigou-o a arranjar alimento, dizendo: Se tu és o Filho de Deus, transforma estas pedras em pão.

5 Depois Satanás levou-o a Jerusalém, para o telhado do templo:

7 Jesus retorquiu-lhe: Mas as Escrituras também dizem: 'Não devem provocar o Senhor vosso Deus.

8 Por fim, Satanás levou-o a um sítio muito alto, e mostrou-lhe as terras do mundo e toda a sua riqueza:k

9 Tudo isto te darei se te ajoelhares e me adorares.

10 Vai-te, Satanás! As Escrituras mandam: 'Adorarás o Senhor teu Deus. Só a ele prestarás culto.

11 Então Satanás foi-se embora, e os anjos vieram e serviram Jesus.

1 Then, Jesus was led up into the wilderness, by the Spirit, to be tempted by the adversary;

2 and, fasting forty days and forty nights,afterwards, he hungered.

3 And, coming near, the tempter said to him,If thou art Gods, Son, speak! that, these stones, may become, loaves.

4 But, he, answering, said, It is written,Not on bread alone, shall man live, but on every declaration coming forth through the mouth of God.

5 Then, the adversary taketh him with him, unto the holy city,and he set him upon the pinnacle of the temple;

6 and saith to himIf thou art Gods, Son, cast thyself down,for it is written, To his messengers, will he give charge concerning thee; and, on hands, will they bear thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.

7 Jesus said to him, Again, it is written,Thou shalt not put to the test, the Lord thy God.

8 Again, the adversary taketh him with him, into an exceeding high mountain,and pointeth out to him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory;

9 and said to him, All these things, will I give thee,if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Withdraw, Satan! for it is written,The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, to him alone, render divine service.

11 Then, the adversary leaveth him,and lo! messengers came near, and began ministering unto him.
