3 and the tester came and said to him, 'If you are Son of God, tel these stones to turn into loaves.'	3 And approaching, the tempter said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”
4 But he replied, 'Scripture says: Human beings live not on bread alone but on every word that comesfrom the mouth of God.'	4 And in response he said, “It has been written: ‘Not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”
5 The devil then took him to the holy city and set him on the parapet of the Temple.	5 Then the devil took him up, into the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6 'If you are Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down; for scripture says: He has given his angels ordersabout you, and they will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.'	6 and said to him: “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it has been written: ‘For he has given charge of you to his angels, and they shall take you into their hands, lest perhaps you may hurt your foot against a stone.’ ”
7 Jesus said to him, 'Scripture also says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'	7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it has been written: ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

9 And he said to him, 'I wil give you al these, if you fal at my feet and do me homage.'	9 and said to him, “All these things I will give to you, if you will fall down and adore me.”
10 Then Jesus replied, 'Away with you, Satan! For scripture says: The Lord your God is the one to whomyou must do homage, him alone you must serve.'	10 Then Jesus said to him: “Go away, Satan. For it has been written: ‘You shall adore the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.’ ”
11 Then the devil left him, and suddenly angels appeared and looked after him.	11 Then the devil left him. And behold, Angels approached and ministered to him.
