3 And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of Elohim, command this stone that it be made bread.
The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 And Yahushua answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of YHWH.
Jesus answered him, “It is written, 'Man does not live on bread alone.'”
5 And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
The devil said to him, “I will give to you all this authority and all their splendor, for they have been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
So then, if you will bow down and worship me, it will be yours.”
8 And Yahushua answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship YHWH thy Elohim, and him only shalt thou serve.
But Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve only him.'”
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of Elohim, cast thyself down from hence:
Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on the very highest point of the temple building, 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 thee, to keep thee:
For it is written, 'He will give orders to his angels regarding you, to protect you,'
11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
and, 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'”
12 And Yahushua answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt YHWH thy Elohim.
Answering him, Jesus said, “It is said, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'”
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
When the devil had finished testing Jesus, he went away and left him until another time.

23 And he said unto them, Ye will surely say unto me this proverb, Physician, heal thyself: whatsoever we have heard done in Capernaum, do also here in thy country.
He said to them, “Surely you will say this proverb to me, 'Doctor, heal yourself. Whatever we heard that you did in Capernaum, do the same in your hometown.'”
24 And he said, Verily I say unto you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.
But he said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is received in his own hometown.

“Ah! What do we have to do with you, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!”
35 And Yahushua rebuked him, saying, Hold thy peace, and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown him in the midst, he came out of him, and hurt him not.
Jesus rebuked the demon, saying, “Do not speak! Come out of him!” When the demon had thrown the man down in the middle of them, he came out of him, and did not harm him in any way.
