Matthew 4:1-11

Anderson(i) 1 Then was Jesus led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry. 3 And the tempter came to him and said: If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. 4 But he answered and said: It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes forth from the mouth of God. 5 Then the devil took him into the holy city, and placed him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to him: If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written: He will give his angels charge concerning you; and in their hands shall they take you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. 7 Jesus said to him: It is again written, You shall not put the Lord your God to the proof. 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, 9 and said to him: All these things will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me. 10 Then Jesus said to him: Get behind me, Satan, for it is written: You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve. 11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
