1 Then Jesus was 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, afterward He was hungry.

3 And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If You are the Son of God, speak that these stones may become bread.

4 But He answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every Word that comes forth from the mouth of God.

5 Then the devil takes Him up into the holy city, and sets Him on the wing of the temple,

6 and says to Him, If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: He shall give His angels charge concerning you, and, in their hands they shall bear you up, that you may not dash your foot against a stone.

7 Jesus said to him, It is written again, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.

8 Again, the devil takes Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

9 And he says to Him, All these things I will give to You if You will fall down and do homage to me.

10 Then Jesus said to him, Go away, Satan! For it has been written, You shall do homage to the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.

11 Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him.
