Then Jesus was led up to the desert by the Holy Spirit in order to be put to the test by the devil.

The tempter [i.e., the devil] came and said to Him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to turn into bread."

Then the devil took Him to the holy city [i.e., Jerusalem] and placed Him on an [elevated] wing of the Temple,

The devil took Him again, [this time] to a very high mountain and showed Him all the world's kingdoms, along with their splendor,

Then the devil left Him and angels came and tended to His needs [i.e., food, water, etc.].

But you should just say 'yes' [when you mean] yes, and 'no' [when you mean] no. Whatever you say beyond these [i.e., enforcing them by oaths] is of the evil one [i.e., the devil].

When anyone hears the message of the kingdom but does not understand it, the evil one [i.e., the devil] comes to him and grabs away what had been sown in his heart. This is the person who was scattered to the side of the road.

and the field [represents] the world. The good seed [represents] the children who belong to the kingdom, and the weeds [represent] the children who belong to the evil one [i.e., the devil].

The enemy who scattered the weed seeds is the devil; the harvest time is the end of the world; and the harvesters are angels.

Then He [i.e., the King] will say to those at His left side, 'Go away from me, you who are cursed [by God], into the never ending fire which is prepared for the devil and his angels.
