And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan and was led the by the spirit into the desert,

For the space of forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.

And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.

And Jesus answered him: is written that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.

And the devil led him into a high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power and the glory of them. For to me they are delivered: and to whom I will, I give them.
