003:036 son of Cainan, son of Arpachshad, son of Shem, son of Noah,
son of Lamech, 003:037 son of Methuselah, son of Enoch, son of Jared, son of Mahalalel, son of Kenan, 003:038 son of Enosh, son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God. 004:001 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led about by the Spirit in the Desert for forty days, 004:002 tempted all the while by the Devil. During those days He ate nothing, and at the close of them He suffered from hunger. 004:003 Then the Devil said to Him, "If you are God's Son, tell this stone to become bread." 004:004 "It is written," replied Jesus, "`It is not on bread alone that a man shall live.'" 004:005 The Devil next led Him up and caused Him to see at a glance all the kingdoms of the world. 004:006 And the Devil said to Him, "To you will I give all this authority and this splendour; for it has been handed over to me, and on whomsoever I will I bestow it. 004:007 If therefore you do homage to me, it shall all be yours.' 004:008 Jesus answered him, "It is written, `To the Lord thy God thou shalt do homage, and to Him alone shalt thou render worship.'" 004:009 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem and caused Him to stand on the roof of the Temple, and said to Him, "If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here; for it is written, 004:010 `He will give orders to His angels concerning thee, to guard thee safely;' 004:011 and `On their hands they shall bear thee up, Lest at any moment thou shouldst strike thy foot against a stone.'" 004:012 The reply of Jesus was, "It is said, `Thou shalt not put the Lord they God to the proof.'" |
