4Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Man shall not live on bread alone.'"

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

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

7If you worship me, it will all be yours."

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

8Jesus answered, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.'"

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

11they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"

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

12Jesus answered, "It is said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"

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

13When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
