mnt@Matthew:4:2 @ And after he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he became hungry,

mnt@Matthew:4:3 @ So the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, bid these stones to become bread."

mnt@Matthew:4:4 @ Jesus answered him, "It is written, Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God."

mnt@Matthew:4:5 @ Then the devil took him up into the Holy City and stood him on the parapet of the temple,

mnt@Matthew:4:6 @ and said to him. "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, "He will give his angels charge over thee; Upon their hands they will bear thee up, Lest thou dash thy foot against a stone."

mnt@Matthew:4:7 @ "It is written again," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God."

mnt@Matthew:4:8 @ Then the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain, and showed all the kingdoms of the earth and the glory of them,

mnt@Matthew:4:9 @ and said to him, "All these will I give you, if you will fall down and worship me."
