1 Then the Jesus was led into the desert by the spirit, to be tempted by the accuser.
2 And fasting days forty and nights forty, after he was hungry.
3 And coming to him the temper, said: If a son thou be of the God, speak, that the stones these loaves may become.
4 He but answering said: It is written: Not by bread alone shall live a man; but by every word proceeding from mouth of God.
5 Then takes him the accuser into the holy city, and places him on the wing of the temple,
6 and saying to him: if a son thou be of the God, cast thyself down; it is written for: That to the messengers of him he will give charge of thee; and on hands they shall raise thee, lest thou strikes against a stone the foot of thee.
7 Said to him the Jesus: Again it is written: Not thou shalt put to the proof Lord the God of thee.
8 Again takes him the accuser into a mountain high exceedingly, and shows to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,
9 and says to him: These all to thee I will give, if falling down thou wilt do homage to me.
10 Then says to him the Jesus: Go thou behind of me, adversary; it is written for: Lord the God of thee thou shalt worship, and to him only thou shalt render service.
11 Then leaves him the accuser; and lo, messengers came and ministered to him.
