1. And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2. Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he
did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward
hungered.
3. And the devil said unto him, If thou be 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 into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6. And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give
thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto 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 unto 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 unto him, If thou be the Son of God,
cast thyself down from hence:
10. For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over
thee, to keep thee:
11. And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time
thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12. And Jesus answering said unto 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.
