From Chapter 4 of Saint Mathew's Gospel
VV 1-11
In that time the Spirit pushed
Jesus in the desert where the demon
Proved Him. For forty days resisted
Jesus Christ, with fast and preaches,
the hunger and the thirst! Then He was hungry.
- “Why don't you turn in flour of mintage
these stones?” The weaver of lusts
said! –“Not only of bread lives
the man, but of every word which
comes from God it's written!” -, Jesus answered!
He was conducted to the Temple of the City
and Satan still tried Him: - “Throw yourself down,
and ask your angels to hold You up
because it's written he doesn't have to bump against a stone
his foot'”–“Between the true writings
there is”–Jesus answered to Satan–
“Don’t try your God and your Lord!”
Again Belzeboo, above the tallest rock
conducted him, tempting Him again.
He showed all the kingdoms of the world to Him,
with their glory and their honor
and said: “If you worship me
all these things I will give to you!”
But Jesus answered: “Go away dirty thing!
It's written that You'll worship only Your God
And only to Him you will make your cult!”
Then the devil had to surrender,
going away without anymore insult.
And the angels approached Him
serving Him of any need!
