1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
And, Jesus, full of Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led in the Spirit in the desert,
2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. When they were completed, he was hungry.
forty days, —being tempted by the adversary; and he did eat nothing in those days, —and, when they were concluded, he hungered.
3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
And the adversary said to him—If thou art God’s, Son, speak unto this stone; that it become bread.
4 Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Humankind cannot live by bread alone.'"
And Jesus made answer unto him—It is written: Not, on bread alone, shall, man, live.
5 And leading him up to a high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time.
6 The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want.
And the adversary said to him—Unto thee, will I give this authority, all together, and their glory; because, unto me, hath it been delivered up, and, to whomsoever I please, I give it:
7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, be thine.
8 Jesus answered and said to him, "It is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'"
And, answering, Jesus said to him—It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.
9 He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,
And he led him into Jerusalem, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, —and said [to him]—If thou art God’s, Son, cast thyself, from hence, down;
10 for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'
for it is written—Unto his messengers, will he give command concerning thee, to keep vigilant watch over thee, —
11 and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"
And, On hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
12 And Jesus, answering, said to him, "It is said, 'Do not test the Lord, your God.'"
And Jesus, answering, said to him—It is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God.
13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.

23 He said to them, "Doubtless you will tell me this parable, 'Physician, heal yourself. Whatever we have heard done at Capernaum, do also here in your hometown.'"
And he said unto them—By all means, ye will speak to me this similitude: Physician! heal, thyself, —Whatsoever things we have heard of coming to pass in Capernaum, do here also, in thine own country.
24 He said, "Truly I tell you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown.

Let be! What have we in common with thee, O Jesus, Nazarene! Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee, who thou art, —The Holy One of God.
