Bible. Matthew
40:003:010 And now also the axe is laid unto the root of the trees:
therefore every tree which bringeth not forth good fruit is
hewn down, and cast into the fire.
40:003:011 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that
cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not
worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and
with fire:
40:003:012 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his
floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn
up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
40:003:013 Then cometh Jesus from Galilee to Jordan unto John, to be
baptized of him.
40:003:014 But John forbad him, saying, I have need to be baptized of
thee, and comest thou to me?
40:003:015 And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for
thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Then he
suffered him.
40:003:016 And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of
the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he
saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting
upon him:
40:003:017 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in
whom I am well pleased.
40:004:001 Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be
tempted of the devil.
40:004:002 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was
afterward an hungred.
40:004:003 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son
of God, command that these stones be made bread.
40:004:004 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.
40:004:005 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth
him on a pinnacle of the temple,
40:004:006 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.
40:004:007 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt
the Lord thy God.
40:004:008 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high
mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and
the glory of them;
40:004:009 And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou
wilt fall down and worship me.
40:004:010 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.
40:004:011 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and
ministered unto him.
