Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.
2
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
3
And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4
Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
5
Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
6
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
