Luke 4:2-12

2 forty days, and was tempted of the devil, and [he] ate nothing in those days; and when those days were ended, he hungered.
3 And the devil said to him, If thou art God's Son [If thou be God's Son], say to this stone, that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus answered to him, It is written, That a man liveth not in bread alone, but in every word of God.
5 And the devil led him into an high hill, and showed to him all the realms of the world in a moment of time;
6 and said to him, I shall give to thee all this power, and the glory of them, for to me they be given, and to whom I will, I give them;
7 therefore if thou fall down, and worship before me [therefore if thou shalt worship before me], all things shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answered, and said to him, It is written, Thou shalt worship thy Lord God [Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God], and to him alone thou shalt serve.
9 And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art God's Son, send thyself from hence down;
10 for it is written, For he hath commanded to his angels of thee, that they keep thee in all thy ways,
11 and that they shall take thee in hands, lest peradventure thou hurt thy foot at a stone. [and for in hands they shall take thee, lest peradventure thou hurt thy foot on a stone.]
12 And Jesus answered, and said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt thy Lord God. [And Jesus answering saith to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.]
