1Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
3And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
4But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."'
5Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
7Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."
8And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'
9Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, 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: "He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,'
11and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'
12And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'
13Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
Glory be to God forever. Amen.
