3 And the adversary said to him—If thou art God’s, Son, speak unto this stone; that it become bread.
And the devil said unto him, If you be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.
4 And Jesus made answer unto him—It is written: Not, on bread alone, shall, man, live.
And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word (rhema) of God.
5 And, leading him up, he shewed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth, in a moment of time.
And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, showed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 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:
And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give you, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 Thou, therefore, if thou wilt worship before me, it shall all, be thine.
If you therefore will worship me, all shall be yours.
8 And, answering, Jesus said to him—It is written: The Lord thy God, shalt thou worship, and, unto him alone, render divine service.
And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get you behind me, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
9 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—Unto his messengers, will he give command concerning thee, to keep vigilant watch over thee, —
For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you:
11 And, On hands, will they take thee up, lest once thou strike, against a stone, thy foot.
And in their hands they shall bear you up, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus, answering, said to him—It is said: Thou shalt not put to the test the Lord thy God.
And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, You shall not tempt the Lord your God.
13 And, having concluded every temptation, the adversary departed from him until a fitting season.
And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
