1
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness,
2
forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered,
3
and the Devil said to him, `If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.'
4
And Jesus answered him, saying, `It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.'
5
And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
6
and the Devil said to him, `To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it;
7
thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me -- all shall be thine.'
8
And Jesus answering him said, `Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.'
9
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, `If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence,
10
for it hath been written -- To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee,
11
and -- On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.'
12
And Jesus answering said to him -- `It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'
13
And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.
14
And Jesus turned back in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and a fame went forth through all the region round about concerning him,
15
and he was teaching in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
16
And he came to Nazareth, where he hath been brought up, and he went in, according to his custom, on the sabbath-day, to the synagogue, and stood up to read;
17
and there was given over to him a roll of Isaiah the prophet, and having unfolded the roll, he found the place where it hath been written:
18
`The Spirit of the Lord [is] upon me, Because He did anoint me; To proclaim good news to the poor, Sent me to heal the broken of heart, To proclaim to captives deliverance, And to blind receiving of sight, To send away the bruised with deliverance,
