Then was Iesus led vp of the Spirit into the wildernesse, to bee tempted of the deuill.

And when hee had fasted forty dayes and forty nights, hee was afterward an hungred.

And when the tempter came to him, hee said, If thou be the sonne of God, command that these stones bee made bread.

But he answered, and said, It is written, Man shall not liue by bread alone, but by euery word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

Then the deuill taketh him vp into the holy Citie, and setteth him on a pinacle of the Temple,

And saith vnto him, If thou bee the Sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe: For it is written, He shall giue his Angels charge concerning thee, & in their handes they shall beare thee vp, lest at any time thou dash thy foote against a stone.

Iesus said vnto him, It is written againe, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Againe the Deuill taketh him vp into an exceeding high mountaine, and sheweth him all the kingdomes of the world, and the glory of them:

And saith vnto him, All these things will I giue thee, if thou wilt fall downe and worship me.

Then saith Iesus vnto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him onely shalt thou serue.

Then the deuill leaueth him, and behold, Angels came and ministred vnto him.
