1Iesus, being full of the holy ghost, returned from Iordane, & was ledde by the spirite into wyldernesse, 2And was fourtie dayes tempted of the deuyll, and in those dayes dyd he eate nothyng: And when they were ended, he afterwarde hungred. 3And the deuyll sayde vnto hym: If thou be the sonne of God, commaunde this stone that it be made bread. 4And Iesus aunswered hym, saying: It is written, that man shall not lyue by bread only, but by euery word of god.

5And the deuyll toke hym into an hye mountayne, & shewed hym all the kingdomes of ye worlde in a moment of time. 6And the deuyl saide vnto hym: all this power wyll I geue thee euerywhyt, & the glory of them, for that is deliuered vnto me, and to whomsoeuer I wyll, I geue it. 7If thou therfore wilt fall downe before me, & worship me, they shalbe all thine. 8Iesus aunswered, & sayde vnto hym, Hence from me Satan: For it is writte, Thou shalt worship the Lorde thy God, and hym only shalt thou serue.

9And he caryed hym to Hierusalem, & set hym on a pinacle of the temple, and sayde vnto him: If thou be the sonne of God, cast thy selfe downe from hence.

10For it is written, that he shall geue his Angels charge ouer thee, to kepe thee.

11And in their handes they shall beare thee vp, that thou dasshe not thy foote at any tyme agaynst a stone.

12And Iesus aunswered, and sayde vnto hym: It is sayde, Thou shalt not tempt the Lorde thy God.

13And assoone as all the temptatio was ended, the deuyll departed from hym for a season.

19And to preache the acceptable yere of the Lorde. 20And he closed the booke, and gaue it agayne to the minister, and sate downe: And the eyes of all them that were in ye synagogue, were fastened on hym. 21And he began to say vnto the: this day is this scripture fulfilled in your eares. 22And all bare him witnesse, & wondred at ye gratious wordes whiche proceaded out of his mouth.

And when the deuyll had throwen him in the middes, he came out of hym, and hurt hym not. 36And feare came on them all, and they spake among them selues, saying: What maner a thyng is this? For with auctoritie and power he commaundeth the foule spirites, and they come out. 37And the fame of hym spread abrode, throughout euery place of the countrey rounde about.
