wilderness. And he was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted
of Satan; and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered
unto him".
Lk 4:1-8: And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned
from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, Being
forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat
nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered. And the
devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone
that it be made bread. And Jesus answered him, saying, It is
written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
of God. And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed
unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And
the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the
glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to omsoever I
will I give it.If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be
thine. And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me,
Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and
him only shalt thou serve.
Mt 4:1-2: "Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the
