1 Sitten Henki vei Jeesuksen ylös erämaahan perkeleen kiusattavaksi.

2 Ja kun Jeesus oli paastonnut neljäkymmentä päivää ja neljäkymmentä yötä, tuli hänen lopulta nälkä.

5 Silloin perkele otti hänet kanssansa pyhään kaupunkiin ja asetti hänet pyhäkön harjalle

8 Taas perkele otti hänet kanssansa sangen korkealle vuorelle ja näytti hänelle kaikki maailman valtakunnat ja niiden loiston

11 Silloin perkele jätti hänet; ja katso, enkeleitä tuli hänen tykönsä, ja he tekivät hänelle palvelusta.

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.
