Christ's fasting and temptations

Saint Luke - Chapter 4


[1] Jesus autem plenus Spiritu Sancto regressus est a Jordane : et agebatur a Spiritu in desertum
And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the desert,

[2] diebus quadraginta, et tentabatur a diabolo. Et nihil manducavit in diebus illis : et consummatis illis esuriit.
For the space of forty days; and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry.


Man liveth not by bread alone. J-J Tissot
[3] Dixit autem illi diabolus : Si Filius Dei es, dic lapidi huic ut panis fiat.
And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.

[4] Et respondit ad illum Jesus : Scriptum est : Quia non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo Dei.
And Jesus answered him: It is written, that Man liveth not by bread alone, but by every word of God.








The devil led Him into a high mountain. J-J Tissot
[5] Et duxit illum diabolus in montem excelsum, et ostendit illi omnia regna orbis terrae in momento temporis,
And the devil led him into a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;

[6] et ait illi : Tibi dabo potestatem hanc universam, et gloriam illorum : quia mihi tradita sunt, et cui volo do illa.
And he said to him: To thee will I give all this power, and the glory of them; for to me they are delivered, and to whom I will, I give them.

[7] Tu ergo si adoraveris coram me, erunt tua omnia.
If thou therefore wilt adore before me, all shall be thine.

[8] Et respondens Jesus, dixit illi : Scriptum est : Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies.
And Jesus answering said to him: It is written: Thou shalt adore the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.









Christ is set on a pinnacle. J-J Tissot
[9] Et duxit illum in Jerusalem, et statuit eum super pinnam templi, et dixit illi : Si Filius Dei es, mitte te hinc deorsum.
And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and he said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself from hence.

[10] Scriptum est enim quod angelis suis mandavit de te, ut conservent te :
For it is written, that He hath given his angels charge over thee, that they keep thee.

[11] et quia in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.
And that in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.

[12] Et respondens Jesus, ait illi : Dictum est : Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum.
And Jesus answering, said to him: It is said: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

[13] Et consummata omni tentatione, diabolus recessit ab illo, usque ad tempus.
And all the temptation being ended, the devil departed from him for a time.


Totus tuus ego sum 
Et omnia mea tua sunt;
Tecum semper tutus sum:
Ad Jesum per Mariam
