Memory Herses, Ia.

| Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into
the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
| And when he had tasted forty days ald
| forty nights, he was afterward an hungersd.
And when the tempter came to him he
said, 1t thou be the son of God, command
that these stones be made bread
8 But he answered and said, 1t is written,
Man shall not live by bread alone, but by ev-
| cry word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
| God.
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the
| holy city, and setteth him on q pinnacle Of
| the temple.
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 i'll their hands they shall bear thee up,
lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a
stone
Jesus said unto him, 1t is is written again.
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God
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 saith unto him, All these things will
I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and wor-
ship me.
10 Then saith Jesus unto him Get thee
hence Satan, for it is written, Thou shalt wor
ship the Lord Thy God, and him only shalt
thou serve.
II The the devil leaveth him and, behold.
angels came and ministered unto him,
