From the Gospel according to Matthew At that time, Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. He fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry. The tempter approached and said: "If you are the Son of God, 'that these stones become bread." But he said: "It is written:" One does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God. "
Then the devil took him to the holy city and placed it on the highest point of the temple and said: "If you are the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written:" For He will command His angels concerning you and they take you on their hands because your foot against a stone "." Jesus replied, "it is written:" Do not test the Lord thy God. "
Then the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, and said: "All these things will I give thee if, falling at my feet and worship me." Then Jesus said to him: "Go away, Satan! For it is written: "The Lord your God, you'll love: to worship Him alone". "
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him
