1 THEN Jeshu was led by the Spirit of Holiness into the desert, that he should be tempted by the Accuser.

2 And he fasted forty days and forty nights; but afterward he hungered.

3 And he who tempteth approached and said, If the Son thou art of Aloha, say that these stones shall become bread.

4 But he answered and said, It is written that not by bread alone liveth the Son of man, but by every word which proceedeth from the mouth of Aloha.

5 Then the Accuser taketh him to the holy city, and caused him to stand on the pinnacle of the temple;

6 and said to him, If the Son thou art of Aloha, throw thyself down; for it is written that his angels he shall command concerning thee, and upon their hands they shall bear thee, that thou strike not against a stone thy foot.

7 Jeshu said to him, Again it is written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy Aloha.

8 Again the Accuser took him to a mountain which is exceeding high, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;

9 and said to him, These all to thee will I give, if thou wilt fall and worship me,

10 Then said Jeshu to him, Away with thee, Satana! for it is written that the Lord thy Aloha thou shalt worship, and him only thou shalt serve.

11 Then the Accuser left him, and, behold, the angels drew nigh and ministered unto him.
