The Temptation in the Wilderness

Darby Translation (DBY)

Mat 4:1–11

1 Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
3 And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
4 But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.
5 Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,
6 and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
7 Jesus said to him, It is again written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8 Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain, and shews him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory,
9 and says to him, All these things will I give thee if, falling down, thou wilt do me homage.
10 Then says Jesus to him, Get thee away, Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
11 Then the devil leaves him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.

12 And immediately the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness.
13 And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to him.

1 But Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
2 forty days, tempted of the devil; and in those days he did not eat anything, and when they were finished he hungered.
3 And the devil said to him, If thou be Son of God, speak to this stone, that it become bread.
4 And Jesus answered unto him saying, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
5 And the devil, leading him up into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for it is given up to me, and to whomsoever I will I give it.
7 If therefore thou wilt do homage before me, all of it shall be thine.
8 And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to the Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.
9 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;
10 for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;
11 and on their hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
12 And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
13 And the devil, having completed every temptation, departed from him for a time.
