1Then Jesus was sent by the Spirit into the waste land to be tested by the Evil One.
2And after going without food for forty days and forty nights, he was in need of it.
3And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread.
4But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God.
5Then the Evil One took him to the holy town; and he put him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him,
6If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone.
7Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test.
