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 you are of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.'

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

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

6 and said to him, 'If Son you are of God -- cast yourself down, for it has been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning you, and on hands they shall bear you up, that you may not dash on a stone your foot.'

7 Jesus said to him again, 'It has been written, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'

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

9 and said to him, 'All these to you I will give, if falling down you may bow to me.'

10 Then said Jesus to him, 'Go -- Adversary, for it has been written, The Lord your God you shall bow to, and Him only you shall serve.'

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