2where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.

3The devil told him, "Since you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread."

3The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'One must not live on bread alone, but on every word of God.'"

4But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone.’ ”

5The devil also took him to a high place and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant.

5Then the devil led Him up to a high place and showed Him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.

6He told Jesus, "I will give you all this authority, along with their glory, because it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone I please.

6“I will give You authority over all these kingdoms and all their glory,” he said. “For it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish.

7So if you will worship me, all this will be yours."

7So if You worship me, it will all be Yours.”

8But Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'"

9The devil also took him into Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the Temple. He told Jesus, "Since you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here,

9Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

10because it is written, 'God will put his angels in charge of you to watch over you carefully.

10For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully;

11With their hands they will hold you up, so that you will never hit your foot against a rock.'"

11and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’ ”

12Jesus answered him, "It has been said, 'You must not tempt the Lord your God.'"

12But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”

13After the devil had finished tempting Jesus in every possible way, he left him until another time.
