1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward. 3 The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

4 But he answered, "It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’"

5 Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and,

‘On their hands they will bear you up,

so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’"

7 Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’"

8 Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."

10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’"

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

1 Toe is Jesus deur die Gees weggelei die woestyn in om versoek te word deur die duiwel.

2 En nadat Hy veertig dae en veertig nagte gevas het, het Hy naderhand honger geword.

3 En die versoeker het na Hom gekom en gesê: As U die Seun van God is, sê dat hierdie klippe brode word.

4 Maar Hy antwoord en sê: Daar is geskrywe: Die mens sal nie van brood alleen lewe nie, maar van elke woord wat deur die mond van God uitgaan.

5 Toe neem die duiwel Hom saam na die heilige stad en laat Hom op die dak van die tempel staan

6 en sê vir Hom: As U die Seun van God is, werp Uself af; want daar is geskrywe: Hy sal sy engele bevel gee aangaande U, en hulle sal U op die hande dra, sodat U nie miskien u voet teen 'n klip stamp nie.

7 Jesus sê vir hom: Daar is ook geskrywe: Jy mag die Here jou God nie versoek nie.

8 Weer neem die duiwel Hom saam na 'n baie hoë berg en wys Hom al die koninkryke van die wêreld en hulle heerlikheid,

9 en sê vir Hom: Al hierdie dinge sal ek aan U gee as U neerval en my aanbid.

10 Toe sê Jesus vir hom: Gaan weg, Satan! want daar is geskrywe: Die Here jou God moet jy aanbid en Hom alleen dien.

11 Daarna het die duiwel Hom laat staan, en daar het engele gekom en Hom gedien.
