1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the devil. 2 And having fasted forty days and forty nights, He afterward hungered. 3 And the tempter having come to Him, said; If thou art the Son of God, speak in order that these stones may become bread. 4 And He responding said; It has been written, A man shall not live upon bread alone, but upon every word coming forth through the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil takes Him into the holy city and stood Him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and says to Him; If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down; for it has been written, That He will give His angels charge concerning thee, and upon their hand they will bear thee, lest thou mayest dash thy foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him; Again it has been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8 Again the devil takes Him into an exceedingly high mountain, and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of the same, 9 and said to Him; All these things will I give unto thee, Matthew 4:1-9, Godbey New Testament.
