**1** Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, **2** being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. **3** And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” **4** But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ” **5** Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. **6** And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. **7** Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.” **8** And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ” **9** Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. **10** For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’ **11** and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ” **12** And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ” **13** Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
