| 4:1 |
And Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. And he was urged by the Spirit into the wilderness |
| 4:2 |
for forty days, and he was tested by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were completed, he was hungry. |
| 4:3 |
Then the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, speak to this stone, so that it may be made into bread.” |
| 4:4 |
And Jesus answered him, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ” |
| 4:5 |
And the devil led him onto a high mountain, and he showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, |
| 4:6 |
and he said to him: “To you, I will give all this power, and its glory. For they have been handed over to me, and I give them to whomever I wish. |
| 4:7 |
Therefore, if you will worship before me, all will be yours.” |
| 4:8 |
And in response, Jesus said to him: “It is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him alone.’ ” |
| 4:9 |
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and he set him on the parapet of the temple, and he said to him: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here. |
| 4:10 |
For it is written that he has given his Angels charge over you, so that they may guard you, |
| 4:11 |
and so that they may take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.” |
| 4:12 |
And in response, Jesus said to him, “It is said: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” |
| 4:13 |
And when all the temptation was completed, the devil withdrew from him, until a time. |
