The Temptation of Jesus
1 1And Jesus,
2full of the Holy Spirit,
3returned from the Jordan and was led
4by the Spirit in the wilderness
2
for
5forty days,
6being tempted by the devil.
7And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended,
8he was hungry.
3
The devil said to him, “If you are
9the Son of God, command
10this stone to become bread. ”
4
And Jesus answered him,
11“It is written,
12‘Man shall not live by bread alone. ’”
5
13And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
6
and said to him, “To you
14I will give all this authority and their glory,
15for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.
7
If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours. ”
8
And Jesus answered him,
16“It is written,
17“‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and
18him only shall you serve. ’”
