1 Thanne Jhesus was led of a spirit in to desert, to be temptid of the feend.
2 And whanne he hadde fastid fourti daies and fourti nyytis, aftirward he hungride.
3 And the tempter cam nyy, and seide to hym, If thou art Goddis sone, seie that thes stoones be maad looues.
4 Which answeride, and seide to hym, It is writun, Not oonli in breed luyeth man, but in ech word that cometh of Goddis mouth.
5 Thanne the feend took hym in to the hooli citee, and settide hym on the pynacle of the temple,
6 and seide to hym, If thou art Goddis sone, sende thee adoun; for it is writun, That to hise aungels he comaundide of thee, and thei schulen take thee in hondis, lest perauenture thou hirte thi foot at a stoon.
7 Eftsoone Jhesus seide to hym, It is writun, Thou shalt not tempte thi Lord God.
8 Eftsoone the feend took hym in to a ful hiy hil, and schewide to hym alle the rewmes of the world, and the ioye of hem;
