3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

4 Jesus answered him, “It is written, 'Man does not live on bread alone.'”

5 Then the devil led Jesus up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant of time.

6 The devil said to him, “I will give to you all this authority and all their splendor, for they have been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.
And the devil said to him: I will give you all the authority and glory of these, for it is delivered to me; and to whomever I will, I give it.
7 So then, if you will bow down and worship me, it will be yours.”
If, therefore, you will bow with reverence before me, all shall be yours.
8 But Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve only him.'”
And Jesus answered and said to him: Get behind me, Satan; it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.
9 Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on the very highest point of the temple building, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here.

11 and, 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'”
and in their hands they shall take you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.
12 Answering him, Jesus said, “It is said, 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'”
And Jesus answered and said to him: It is said, You shall not put the Lord your God to the proof.
13 When the devil had finished testing Jesus, he went away and left him until another time.

22 Everyone there spoke well of him and they were amazed at the gracious words which were coming out of his mouth, and they asked, “Is this not the son of Joseph?”
And all extolled him; and they wondered at the words of grace which proceeded out of his mouth, and said: Is not this the son of Joseph?
23 He said to them, “Surely you will say this proverb to me, 'Doctor, heal yourself. Whatever we heard that you did in Capernaum, do the same in your hometown.'”
And he said to them: You will assuredly apply to me this proverb, Physician, heal yourself. Whatever things we have heard were done in Capernaum, do also here in your country.
24 But he said, “Truly I say to you, no prophet is received in his own hometown.
And he said: Verily I say to you, No prophet is accepted in his own country.

saying: Let us alone; what have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Nazarene? Hast thou come to destroy us? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.
35 Jesus rebuked the demon, saying, “Do not speak! Come out of him!” When the demon had thrown the man down in the middle of them, he came out of him, and did not harm him in any way.
And Jesus rebuked him, saying: Be silent, and come out of him. And the demon threw him into the midst, and came out of him, and hurt him not.
