1. Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2. being tempted by the devil for forty days. During those days He ate nothing. And when they were ended, He was hungry.
3. The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4. Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
5. The devil, taking Him up onto a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6. And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this power and their glory, for it has been delivered to me. And I give it to whomever I will.
7. If You, then, will worship me, all will be Yours.”
