And Iesus full of the holy Ghost returned from Iordan, and was led by that Spirit into the wildernes,

And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil, and in those dayes he did eate nothing: but when they were ended, he afterward was hungry.

Then the deuil saide vnto him, If thou be the Sonne of God, commaund this stone that it be made bread.

But Iesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not liue by bread only, but by euery word of God.

Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine, and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world, in the twinkeling of an eye.

And the deuill saide vnto him, All this power will I giue thee, and the glory of those kingdomes: for that is deliuered to mee: and to whomsoeuer I will, I giue it.
