1Then was Iesus ledd awaye of the spirite in to wildernes, to be tempted of the deuyll. 2And when he had fasted fourtye dayes and fourtye nightes, he was afterward an hungred. 3And the tepter came to him and sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God, commaunde, that these stones be made breed. 4He answered & sayde: yt is wrytte: Man shall not lyue by bred onlye, but by euery worde that proceadeth out of the mouth of God.

5Then the deuyll toke hym vp into the holy cite, and set hym on a pynacle of the temple,

6and sayde vnto hym: yf thou be ye sonne of God, cast thy sylfe downe. For it is wrytten: he shall geue his angels charge ouer the and with their handes they shal holde the vp, that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone.

7And Iesus sayde vnto hym: it ys wrytten also: Thou shalt not tempte thy LORDE God.

8Agayne, the deuyll toke hym vp and led hym into an excedynge hye mountayne, and shewed hym all the kyngdomes of the worlde, and all the glorie of them, 9and sayde vnto hym: all these wil I geue the, yf thou wilt fall downe and worship me. 10Then sayde Iesus vnto hym: Auoyde Sata. For it ys wrytte: thou shalt worshyp the LORDE thy God and hym onely shalt thou serue. 11Then the deuell left hym, and beholde, the angels came and ministred vnto hym.
