1 Thanne Jhesus was led of a spirit in to desert, to be temptid of the feend.
Then was Iesus ledd awaye of ye spirite into wildernes to be tempted of ye devyll.
2 And whanne he hadde fastid fourti daies and fourti nyytis, aftirward he hungride.
And when he had fasted fourtye dayes and fourtye nightes he was afterward an hungred.
3 And the tempter cam nyy, and seide to hym, If thou art Goddis sone, seie that thes stoones be maad looues.
Then came to hym the tempter and sayde: yf thou be the sonne of God commaunde that these stones be made breed.
4 Which answeride, and seide to hym, It is writun, Not oonli in breed luyeth man, but in ech word that cometh of Goddis mouth.
He answered and sayde: yt is wrytten man shall not lyve by brede onlye but by every worde yt proceadeth out of the mouth of God.
5 Thanne the feend took hym in to the hooli citee, and settide hym on the pynacle of the temple,
Then the devyll tooke hym vp into ye holy cite and set hym on a pynacle of the teple
6 and seide to hym, If thou art Goddis sone, sende thee adoun; for it is writun, That to hise aungels he comaundide of thee, and thei schulen take thee in hondis, lest perauenture thou hirte thi foot at a stoon.
and sayd vnto hym: yf thou be the sonne of God cast thy sylfe doune. For it is wrytte he shall geve his angels charge over the and with their handes they shall holde yt vp that thou dashe not thy fote agaynst a stone.
7 Eftsoone Jhesus seide to hym, It is writun, Thou shalt not tempte thi Lord God.
And Iesus sayde to hym it ys wrytten also: Thou shalt not tempte thy Lorde God.
8 Eftsoone the feend took hym in to a ful hiy hil, and schewide to hym alle the rewmes of the world, and the ioye of hem;
The devyll toke hym vp agayne and ledde hym in to an excedynge hye mountayne and shewed hym all the kyngdomes of ye worlde and all ye glorie of them
9 and seide to hym, Alle these `Y schal yyue to thee, if thou falle doun and worschipe me.
and sayde to hym: all these will I geue ye if thou wilt faull doune and worship me.
10 Thanne Jhesus seide to hym, Goo, Sathanas; for it is writun, Thou schalt worschipe thi Lord God, and to hym aloone thou shalt serue.
Then sayde Iesus vnto hym. Avoyd Satan. For it is writte thou shalt worshyp ye Lorde thy God and hym only shalt thou serve.
11 Thanne the feend lafte hym; and lo! aungels camen nyy, and serueden to hym.
Then the dyvell left hym and beholde the angels came and ministred vnto hym.
12 But whanne Jhesus hadde herd that Joon was takun, he wente in to Galilee.
