1And Iesus full of the holy Ghost returned from Iordan, and was led by that Spirit into the wildernes,
2And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil, & in those dayes he did eate nothing: but when they were ended, he afterward was hungry.
3Then the deuil saide vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, commaunde this stone that it be made bread.
4But Iesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not liue by bread only, but by euery word of God.
5Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world, in the twinkeling of an eye.
6And the deuill saide vnto him, All this power will I giue thee, and the glory of those kingdomes: for that is deliuered to mee: and to whomsoeuer I will, I giue it.
7If thou therefore wilt worship mee, they shalbe all thine.
8But Iesus answered him, and saide, Hence from mee, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lorde thy God, and him alone thou shalt serue.
9Then hee brought him to Hierusalem, and set him on a pinacle of the Temple, and said vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hence,
10For it is written, That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee:
11And with their handes they shall lift thee vp, least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone.
12And Iesus answered, and said vnto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13And when the deuil had ended all the tentation, he departed from him for a litle season.
