1Jesus then, full of the holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the deserted place.2For forty days he was being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were completed he became hungry.3Then the devil said to him, "If you are the son of God, say to this stone that it become bread."4Jesus answered him, "It is written that a human shall not live upon bread alone."5And leading him he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant of time.6The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been delivered to me and I give it to whomever I will."7Therefore if you will worship before me, everything will be yours.8Jesus answered and said to him, "It is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him alone you shall minister."9Then he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, "If you are the son of God, throw yourself down from here."10For it is written that he will command his angels concerning you to protect you.11And that on their hands they will take you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.12Jesus answered and said to him, "It is said, You shall not test the Lord your God."13And when he had completed every temptation, the devil departed from him until a time.
