Satan Tried To Tempt Jesus

 
St Matthew Chapter 4
 
 
Then was Jesus led up of the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
 
And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterward an hungred.
 
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 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.
 
Then the devil taketh Him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto Him: 'It Thou be the Son of God, cast Thyself down ... for it is written that He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee; in their hands they shall bear Thee up, lest at any time Thou dash Thy foot against a stone.'
 
Jesus said unto him: 'It written again ... Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'
 
Again, the devil taketh Him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; and saith unto Him: 'All these things will I give Thee, if Thou wilt fall down and worship me.'
 
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 devil leaveth Him, and behold, angels came and ministered unto Him.
 
 
 
Christ Begins His Sermon In The Mount
 
 
St Matthew 5
 
 
Blessed are the poor in spirit ... for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
 
Blessed are they that mourn ... for they shall be comforted.
 
Blessed are the meek ... for they shall inherit the earth.
 
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness ... for they shall be filled.
 
Blessed are the merciful ... for they shall receive mercy.
 
Blessed are the pure in heart ... for they shall see God.
 
Blessed are the peacemakers ... for they shall be called the children of God.
 
Blessed are they which are percecuted for righteousness' sake ... for their's is the kingdom of heaven.
 
Blessed are ye when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of  evil against you falsely, for My sake ... rejoice, and be exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you.
 
Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? It is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under the foot of men.
 
Ye are the light of the world.  A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
 
Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick: and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
 
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
 
Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets:  I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
