1 Then was Jesus conducted by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil.
2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
3 Then the tempter accosting him, said, If thou be God's Son, command that these stones become loaves.
4 «Jesus answering, said, It is written,'Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint.'»
5 Then the devil conveyed him into the holy city, and having placed him on the battlement of the temple,
6 «said to him, If thou be God's Son, throw thyself down; for it is written,» 'He will give his angels the charge of thee: they shall uphold thee in their arms, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.'
7 «Jesus again answered, It is written,'Thou shalt not put the Lord thy God to the proof.'»
8 Again the devil took him up a very high mountain, whence he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in their glory,
9 and said to him, All these will I give thee, if thou wilt prostrate thyself, and worship me.
10 «Jesus answered, Satan, begone; for it is written,'Thou shalt worship the Lord they God, and shall serve him only.'»
11 Then the devil leaving him, angels came and ministered to him.
