1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from Jordan, and was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert, 2 Being tempted forty days by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days: and they having ended, he afterward hungered. 3 And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, say thou to this stone that it might be bread. 4 And Jesus answered to him saying, It has been written, That not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word of God. 5 And the devil, bringing him into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable globe in an instant of time. 6 And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for to me has it been delivered; and to whom I will I give it. 7 Therefore if thou worship before me, all shall be thine. 8 And having answered him Jesus said, Retire behind me, Satan: for it has been written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
