1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 and was there forty days, to be tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days; and when they were ended, he was afterward hungry. 3 And the devil said to him: If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread. 4 And Jesus answered him, and said: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil took him up into a high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to him: I will give you all the authority and glory of these, for it is delivered to me; and to whomever I will, I give it. 7 If, therefore, you will bow with reverence before me, all shall be yours. 8 And Jesus answered and said to him: Get behind me, Satan; it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
