Matthew 4:1-11 (KJV)
[1] Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit
into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
[2] And when he had fasted forty days
and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
[3] And when the tempter came to him, he said,
If thou be the Son of God, command that
these stones be made bread.
[4] But he answered and said, It is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceedeth
out of the mouth of God.
[5] Then the devil taketh him up into
the holy city, and setteth him
on a pinnacle of the temple,
[6] And saith unto him, If thou be
the Son of God, cast thyself down:
for it is written, He shall give his
angels charge concerning thee:
and in their hands they shall
bear thee up, lest at any time
thou dash thy foot against a stone.
[7] Jesus said unto him, It is written
again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
[8] Again, the devil taketh him up into
an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth
him all the kingdoms of the world,
and the glory of them;
[9] And saith unto him, All these things
will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down
and worship me.
10] Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt
worship the Lord thy God, and him
only shalt thou serve.
[11] Then the devil leaveth him, and,
behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
