1
And Jesus being full of the Holy Spirit, returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2
Being forty days tempted by the devil. And in those days he ate nothing; and when they were ended, he was afterward hungry.
3
And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5
And the devil taking him up upon a high mountain, showed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6
And the devil said to him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered to me, and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
7
If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8
And Jesus answered and said to him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
9
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the son of God, cast thyself down from hence.
10
For it is written, He will give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11
And in [their] hands they will bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12
And Jesus answering, said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
