⁴And Jhesus answeride to hym, It is writun, That a man lyueth not in breed aloone, but in euery word of God.

⁵And the deuel ladde hym in to an hiy hil, and schewide to hym alle the rewmes of the world in a moment of tyme;

⁶and seide to hym, Y schal yyue to thee al this power, and the glorie of hem, for to me thei ben youun, and to whom Y wole, Y yyue hem;

⁷therfor if thou falle doun, and worschipe bifore me, alle thingis schulen be thine.

¹¹and that thei schulen take thee in hondis, lest perauenture thou hirte thi foote at a stoon.

¹²And Jhesus answeride, and seide to him, It is seid, Thou schalt not tempte thi Lord God.
