Temptation of Jesus
1 AND JESUS full of the Holy Ghost, returned from Jordan, & was driven in the spirit into the desert.
2 forty days, and was tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was an hungered.
Not Bread but the Word
3 And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.
4 And JESUS made answer unto him: It is written, That not in bread alone shall man live, but in every word of God.
Satan Offers World's Kingdoms
5 And the devil brought him into an high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the whole world in a moment of time;
6 and he said to him: To thee will I give this whole power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I do give them.
7 Thou therefore if thou wilt adore before me, they shall all be thine.
8 And JESUS answering said to him: It is written, Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God & him only shalt thou serve.
9 And he brought him into Jerusalem, & set him upon the pinnacle of the Temple; and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thy self from hence downward.
10 For it is written, that He hath given his Angels charge of thee, that they preserve thee:
11 and that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou knock thy foot against a stone.
12 And JESUS answering said to him: It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And all the tentation being ended, the devil departed from him until a time.
