Matthew 4:1-11

Young's Literal Translation

4 Then Jesus was led up to the wilderness by the Spirit, to be tempted by the Devil,

² and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he did hunger.

³ And the Tempter having come to him said, `If Son thou art of God -- speak that these stones may become loaves.'

⁴ But he answering said, `It hath been written, Not upon bread alone doth man live, but upon every word coming forth from the mouth of God.'

⁵ Then doth the Devil take him to the [holy] city, and doth set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁶ and saith to him, `If Son thou art of God -- cast thyself down, for it hath been written, that, His messengers He shall charge concerning thee, and on hands they shall bear thee up, that thou mayest not dash on a stone thy foot.'

⁷ Jesus said to him again, `It hath been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'

⁸ Again doth the Devil take him to a very high mount, and doth shew to him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them,

⁹ and saith to him, `All these to thee I will give, if falling down thou mayest bow to me.'

¹⁰ Then saith Jesus to him, `Go -- Adversary, for it hath been written, The Lord thy God thou shalt bow to, and Him only thou shalt serve.'

¹¹ Then doth the Devil leave him, and lo, messengers came and were ministering to him.
