the dearly loved, in whom is My delight."
004:001 At that time Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the Desert
in order to be tempted by the Devil.
004:002 There He fasted for forty days and nights; and after that He
suffered from hunger.
004:003 So the Tempter came and said, "If you are the Son of God,
command these stones to turn into loaves."
004:004 "It is written," replied Jesus, "`It is not on bread alone
that a man shall live, but on whatsoever God shall appoint.'"
004:005 Then the Devil took Him to the Holy City and caused Him to stand
on the roof of the Temple,
004:006 and said, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it
is written, "`To His angels He will give orders concerning thee,
and on their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any moment
thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'"
004:007 "Again it is written," replied Jesus, "`Thou shalt not put
the Lord thy God to the proof.'"
004:008 Then the Devil took Him to the top of an exceedingly lofty mountain,
from which he caused Him to see all the Kingdoms of the world
and their splendour,
004:009 and said to Him, "All this I will give you, if you will kneel
down and do me homage."
004:010 "Begone, Satan!" Jesus replied; "for it is written,
`To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone
shalt thou render worship.'"
004:011 Thereupon the Devil left Him, and angels at once came and
ministered to Him.
004:012 Now when Jesus heard that John was thrown into prison,
He withdrew into Galilee,
004:013 and leaving Nazareth He went and settled at Capernaum,
