58. Jesus Is Tempted

Then Jesus was led of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of

the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He

afterward hungered. And the tempter came and said unto Him: If Thou art

the Son of God, command that these stones become bread. Jesus answered:

It is written: Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that

proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Then the devil took Him into the

holy city, and he set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said: If

Thou art the Son of God, cast Thyself down; for it is written: He shall

give His angels charge concerning Thee, and on their hands they shall

bear Thee up, lest haply Thou dash Thy foot against a stone. Jesus

answered: Again it is written: Thou shalt not try the Lord thy God.

Again the devil took Him unto an exceeding high mountain and showed Him

all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, and said: All these

things will I give Thee, if Thou wilt fall down and worship me. Jesus

answered: Get thee hence, Satan! For it is written: Thou shalt worship

the Lord, thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve. (Matt. 4:1-11.)
