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 a high mountain, showed 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. |
