And the Evil One came and said to him, If you are the Son of God, give the word for these stones to become bread. And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
But he made answer and said, It is in the Writings, Bread is not man's only need, but every word which comes out of the mouth of God. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

If you are the Son of God, let yourself go down; for it is in the Writings, He will give his angels care over you; and, In their hands they will keep you up, so that your foot may not be crushed against a stone. And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said to him, Again it is in the Writings, You may not put the Lord your God to the test. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Again, the Evil One took him up to a very high mountain, and let him see all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showeth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
And he said to him, All these things will I give you, if you will go down on your face and give me worship. And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
Then said Jesus to him, Away, Satan: for it is in the Writings, Give worship to the Lord your God and be his servant only. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
Then the Evil One went away from him, and angels came and took care of him. Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.

And he said to them, Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men. And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.
