3	And the tempter came			3	The devil
	and said to him,				said to him,
	"If you are the Son of God,				"If you are the Son of God,
	command these stones				command this stone
	to become loaves of bread."				to become bread."
4	But he answered,			4	And Jesus answered him,
	"It is written,				"It is written,
	`Man shall not live by bread alone,				`Man shall not live by bread alone.'"
	but by every word that proceeds
	from the mouth of God.'"
5	Then the devil <takes> him*				[see Luke 4:9 below]
	to the holy city,
	and set him on the pinnacle*
	of the temple,*
6	and <says> to him,*
	"If you are the Son of God,*
	throw yourself down;*
	for it is written,*
	`He will give his angels *
	charge of you,'*
	and
	`On their hands*
	they will bear you up,*
	lest you strike your foot*
	against a stone.'"*
7	Jesus said to him,*
	"Again it is written,
	`You shall not tempt*
	the Lord your God.'"*
8	Again, the devil <takes> him			5	And the devil took him up,
	to a very high mountain,
	and <shows> him				and showed him
	all the kingdoms				all the kingdoms
	of the world**				of the world**
	and the glory of them;				in a moment of time,
9	and he said to him,			6	and said to him,
	"All these I will give you,				"To you I will give all this authority
					and their glory;
					for it has been delivered to me,
					and I give it to whom I will.
	if you will fall down			7	If you, then, will
	and worship me."				worship <before> me,
					it shall all be yours."
10	Then Jesus <says> to him,			8	And Jesus answered him,
	"Be gone, Satan!
	for it is written,				"It is written,
	`You shall worship				`You shall worship
	the Lord your God				the Lord your God,
	and him only shall you serve.'"				and him only shall you serve.'"
	[see Matt 4:5 above]			9	And he <led> him to* Jerusalem,
					and set him on the pinnacle*
					of the temple,*
					and said to him,*
					"If you are the Son of God,*
					throw yourself down* from here;
				10	for it is written,*
					`He will give his angels*
					charge of you,*
					to guard you,'
				11	<so that>
					`On their hands*
					they will bear you up,*
					lest you strike your foot*
					against a stone.'"*
				12	And Jesus answered him,*
					"It is said,
					`You shall not tempt*
					the Lord your God.'"*
11	Then the devil			13	And when the devil
					had ended every temptation,
	left him,				he departed from him
					until an opportune time.
	and behold,	13	and he was
			with the wild beasts;
	angels came		and the angels
	and ministered to him.		ministered to him.
