1

And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, came back from the Jordan, and was guided by the Spirit in the waste land

2

For forty days, being tested by the Evil One. And he had no food in those days and when they came to an end, he was in need of food.

3

And the Evil One said to him, If you are the Son of God, give orders to this stone to become bread.

4

And Jesus made answer to him, It has been said in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need.

5

And he took him up and let him see all the kingdoms of the earth in a minute of time.

6

And the Evil One said, I will give you authority over all these, and the glory of them, for it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone at my pleasure.

7

If then you will give worship to me, it will all be yours.

8

And Jesus in answer said to him, It has been said in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God, and be his servant only.

9

And he took him to Jerusalem and put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down from here for it is said in the Writings,

10

He will give his angels orders to take care of you:

11

And, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.

12

And Jesus made answer and said to him, It is said in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.

13

And when all these tests were ended the Evil One went away from him for a time.
