Matthew 4 💬 📚 📜 📕 ↷
Temptation of Jesus
1 THEN JESUS was led of the Spirit into the desert, to be tempted of the devil.
2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry.
Not Bread but the Word
3 And the tempter approached and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the Temple,
6 and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thy self down, for it is written: That he will give his Angels charge of thee, & in their hands shall they hold thee up, lest perhaps thou knock thy foot against a stone.
7 JESUS said to him again: It is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Satan Offers World's Kingdoms
8 Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain: and he shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
9 and said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
10 Then JESUS saith to him: Avaunt Satan; for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil left him; and behold Angels came, and ministered to him.
