2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He hungered.
3 And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.”
4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
But He answering said, “It has been written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word coming forth from the mouth of God.”
5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,

6 And said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
and says to Him, “If You are the Son of God—cast Yourself down, for it has been written that, His messengers He will charge concerning you, and on hands they will bear you up, that you may not dash your foot on a stone.”
7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Jesus said to him again, “It has been written: You will not tempt the LORD your God.”
8 Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,

9 And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
and says to Him, “All these I will give to You, if falling down You may worship me.”
10 Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
Then Jesus says to him, “Go—Satan, for it has been written: You will worship the LORD your God, and Him only will you serve.”
11 Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.
Then the Devil leaves Him, and behold, messengers came and were ministering to Him.

and having left Nazareth, having come, He dwelt at Capernaum that is by the sea, in the borders of Zebulun and Naphtali,
14 That it might be fulfilled which was said by Isaias the prophet:
that it might be fulfilled that was spoken through Isaiah the prophet, saying,
15 Land of Zabulon and land of Nephthalim, the way of the sea beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles:
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, way of the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations!

and His fame went forth to all Syria, and they brought to Him all the ill having manifold oppressing diseases and torments—and demoniacs, and lunatics, and paralytics—and He healed them.
