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 Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

3 And the Tempter having come to him said, If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.

4 But he answering said, It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.

5 Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6 and saith to him, If Son thou art of God -- cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.

7 Jesus said to him again, It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

8 Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

9 and saith to him, All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.

10 Then saith Jesus to him, Go -- Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.

11 Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
