Christ's Temptation
Then was Jesus led up of the
spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward hungry.
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread.
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God.
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth
him on a pinnacle of the temple,
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself
down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning
thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou
dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not
tempt the Lord thy God.
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory
of them;
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if
thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is
written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve.
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him.
