Now Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.

And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

And Jesus answered him, "It is written: 'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.'"

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And the devil said to Him, "I will give You all this domain and its glory, for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I want.

And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.

"Therefore if You worship before me, it shall all be Yours."

If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.

Jesus replied to him, "It is written: 'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

And he brought Him into Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here;

And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:

for it is written: 'HE WILL GIVE HIS ANGELS ORDERS CONCERNING YOU, TO PROTECT YOU,'

For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:

and, 'ON THEIR HANDS THEY WILL LIFT YOU UP, SO THAT YOU DO NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been stated, 'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

And so when the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
