¹ Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One. ² And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it. ³ And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread. ⁴ But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, ⁶ If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone. ⁷ Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test. ⁸ Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; ⁹ And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship. ¹⁰ Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only. ¹¹ Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him.
