* Then Jesus , full of the Holy Spirit , came back from the Jordan , and was led by the Spirit into the desert for forty days , all the time tempted by the devil . * He ate nothing during these days , and at the close of them he was hungry . * The devil said to him , "If you are the Son of God tell this stone to become bread ." * And Jesus answered him , saying , "It is written that not by bread alone shall man live ." * And the devil led him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth in an instant of time , and the devil said to him . * "To you will I give all this authority and this glory ; for it has been handed over to me , and I give it to whomever I wish . * "If then you will worship me , it shall all be yours ." * "It is written ," answered Jesus , "Thou shalt worship the Lord , thy God , and him only shalt thou serve ." * Then he brought him to Jerusalem , and caused him to stand upon the Temple roof , and said to him . "If you really are the Son of God throw yourself down here ; * for it is written , "He shall give his angels charge of thee , to guard thee safely ; * "They will bear thee up in their hands , Lest thou dash thy food against a stone ." * "It has been said ," replied Jesus , "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord , thy God ." * So , after exhausting on him every kind of temptation , the devil left him for a time .
