004:001 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan,
and was led about by the Spirit in the Desert for forty days,
004:002 tempted all the while by the Devil. During those days He
ate nothing, and at the close of them He suffered from hunger.
004:003 Then the Devil said to Him, "If you are God's Son, tell this
stone to become bread."
004:004 "It is written," replied Jesus, "`It is not on bread alone
that a man shall live.'"
004:005 The Devil next led Him up and caused Him to see at a glance
all the kingdoms of the world.
004:006 And the Devil said to Him, "To you will I give all this authority
and this splendour; for it has been handed over to me,
and on whomsoever I will I bestow it.
004:007 If therefore you do homage to me, it shall all be yours.'
004:008 Jesus answered him, "It is written, `To the Lord thy God thou
shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'"
004:009 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem and caused Him to stand on
the roof of the Temple, and said to Him, "If you are God's Son,
throw yourself down from here; for it is written,
004:010 `He will give orders to His angels concerning thee,
to guard thee safely;'
004:011 and `On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest at any moment
thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'"
004:012 The reply of Jesus was, "It is said, `Thou shalt not put
the Lord they God to the proof.'"
004:013 So the Devil, having fully tried every kind of temptation on Him,
left Him for a time.
004:014 Then Jesus returned in the Spirit's power to Galilee;
and His fame spread through all the adjacent districts.
004:015 And He proceeded to teach in their synagogues, winning
praise from all.
