forty days, being tempted by the Devil. And He ate nothing in those days; and, when they were completed, He hungered.

And the Devil said to Him, "If Thou art God's Son, command this stone, that it become bread."

And the Devil said to Him, "To Thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them; because to me it has been delivered, and to whomsoever I will I give it.

And, having completed every temptation, the Devil departed from Him until a fitting season.

And those by the wayside are those who heard; then the Devil comes, and takes away the word from their heart; lest, having believed, they should be saved.
