A SERMON OF D. MARTIN LVTHER, CONCERNING TENTATION.
Matth. 4. Verse 1. Then was Jesus led aside of the spirit into the wilderness, to be tempted of the Devil. 2. And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward hungry. 3. Then came to him the tempter & said, if thou be the son of God command that these stones be made bread. ⟨p. 337⟩4. But he answering, said, it is written: Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 5. Then the Devil took him up into the holy City, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, 6. And said unto him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thy self down: for it is written, that he will give his Angels charge over thee, & with their hands they shall lift thee up, lest at any time thou shouldest dash thy foot against a stone. 7. Jesus said unto him, it is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 8. Again the Devil took him up into an exceeding hie mountain, & showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them. 9. And said to him: All these will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down, and worship me. 10. Then said Jesus unto him, Avoid Satan, for it is written: Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. 11. Then the Devil left him: and behold, the Angels came, and ministered unto him.
