4 ΚΑΤΑ ΜΑΘΘΑΙΟΝ Matthew Reference
Τότε ὁ Ἰησοῦς ἀνήχθη εἰς τὴν ἐρημον ὑπὸ τοῦ πνεύματος, πειρασθῆναι ὑπὸ τοῦ διαβόλου. Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.The Temptation of Jesus Mt.4.1-11 | Mk.1.12-13 | Lk.4.1-13
καὶ νηστεύσας ἡμέρας τεσσεράκοντα καὶ νύκτας τεσσεράκοντα ὑστερον ἐπείνασεν. And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry. 
Καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ πειράζων εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ θεοῦ, εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἀρτοι ένωνται. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." 
ὁ δὲ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν, Γέγραπται,
    Οὐκ ἐπ' ἄρτῳ μόνῳ ζήσεται ὁ ἄνθρωπος,
    ἀλλ' ἐπὶ παντὶ ῥήματι ἐκπορευομένῳ
    διὰ στόματος θεοῦ.
But he answered, "It is written,
'Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God.'"
- Man shall not live by bread alone Mt.4.4 | Dt.8.3
Τότε παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς τὴν ἀγίαν πόλιν, καὶ ἐστησεν αὐτὸν ἐπὶ τὸ πτερύγιον τοῦ ἱεροῦ, Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 
καὶ λέγει αὐτῷ, Εἰ υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ θεοῦ, βάλε σεαυτὸν κάτω· γέγραπται γὰρ ὅτι
    Τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ
    καὶ ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσίν σε,
    μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου.
and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,
'He will give his angels charge of you,'
and 'On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.'"
- He will give his angels charge of you Mt.4.6 | Ps.91.11-12
ἐφη αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Πάλιν γέγραπται, Οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις κύριον τὸν θεόν σου. Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"- You shall not tempt the Lord your God Mt.4.7 | Dt.6.16
Πάλιν παραλαμβάνει αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος εἰς ὀρος ὑψηλὸν λίαν, καὶ δείκνυσιν αὐτῷ πάσας τὰς βασιλείας τοῦ κόσμου καὶ τὴν δόξαν αὐτῶν, Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; 
καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ταῦτά σοι πάντα δώσω, ἐὰν πεσὼν προσκυνήσῃς μοι. and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me." 
τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, ὑπαγε, Σατανᾶ· γέγραπται γάρ,
    Κύριον τὸν θεόν σου προσκυνήσεις
    καὶ αὐτῷ μόνῳ λατρεύσεις.
Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written,
'You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.'"
- You shall worship the Lord your God Mt.4.10 | Dt.6.13
Τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτὸν ὁ διάβολος, καὶ ἰδοὺ ἀγγελοι προσῆλθον καὶ διηκόνουν αὐτῷ.
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
