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.
"To you will I give all this authority and this glory; for it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
"If then you will worship me, it shall all be yours."
8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
"It is written," answered Jesus, "Thou shalt worship the Lord, thy God, and him only shalt thou serve."
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 God, cast thyself down from hence:
Then he brought him to Jerusalem, and caused him to stand upon the Temple roof, and said to him. "If you really are the Son of God throw yourself down here;
10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
for it is written, "He shall give his angels charge of thee, to guard thee safely;
11 And in [their] hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
"They will bear thee up in their hands, Lest thou dash thy food against a stone."
12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
"It has been said," replied Jesus, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord, thy God."
13 And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
So, after exhausting on him every kind of temptation, the devil left him for a time.
