* Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil : * and having fasted forty days and forty nights , afterwards he hungered . * And the tempter coming up to him said , If thou be Son of God , speak , that these stones may become loaves of bread . * But he answering said , It is written , Man shall not live by bread alone , but by every word which goes out through God 's mouth . * Then the devil takes him to the holy city , and sets him upon the edge of the temple , * and says to him , If thou be Son of God cast thyself down ; for it is written , He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee , and on [their ] hands shall they bear thee , lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone . * Jesus said to him , It is again written , Thou shalt not tempt [the ] Lord thy God . * Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain , and shews him all the kingdoms of the world , and their glory , * and says to him , All these things will I give thee if , falling down , thou wilt do me homage . * Then says Jesus to him , Get thee away , Satan , for it is written , Thou shalt do homage to [the ] Lord thy God , and him alone shalt thou serve . * Then the devil leaves him , and behold , angels came and ministered to him .
