“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 afterward hungered. And the tempter came and said unto
him, If thou art the Son of God, command that these stones become
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 into the holy city; and he set
him on the pinnacle of the temple, and saith unto him, If thou art
the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall
give his angels charge concerning thee: And on their hands they
shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said unto him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God. Again, the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the
glory of them; and he said 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.”(55)
“And straightway the Spirit driveth him forth into the wilderness.
And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he
was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him.”(56)
“And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and
was led by the Spirit in the wilderness during forty days, being
tempted of the devil. And he did eat nothing in those days: and
when they were completed, he hungered. And the devil said unto
him, If thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it become
bread. And Jesus answered unto him, It is written, Man shall not
live by bread alone. And he led him up; and shewed him all the
kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto
him, To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of
them: for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will
I give it. If thou therefore wilt worship before me, it shall all
be thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written,
Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou
serve. And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of
the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast
thyself down from hence: for it is written, He shall give his
angels charge concerning thee, to guard thee: and, On their hands
they shall bear thee up, Lest haply thou dash thy foot against a
stone. And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt
not tempt the Lord thy God. And when the devil had completed every
temptation, he departed from him for a season.”(57)
