1
Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2
And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He afterward hungered.
3
And when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If Thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."
4
But He answered and said, "It is written: `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.'"
5
Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, and
6
said unto Him, "If Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down. For it is written: `He shall give His angels charge concerning thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.'"
7
Jesus said unto him, "It is written again: `Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'"
