This Week's Gospel: Matthew 4: 1 – 11.
(10th-February-2008) 1st Sunday of Lent, Year A

Jesus fasts for forty days and is tempted.
The caput given starts corresponds exactly with the reading specified, and comes primarily from Matthew. The last verse however is augmented from both Luke and Mark.
XV. Ubi Ihesus ductus est ab spiritu in desertum.
(Where Jesus is lead by the spirit into the desert.)

Then Jesus was led by the spirit in the desert, to be tempted by the devil.

And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.

And the tempter coming said to him:
If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said: It is written,
Not in bread alone doth man live,
but in every word that proceedeth
from the mouth of God.


Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down, for it is written, that he hath given his angels charge over thee, and in their hands shall they bear thee up, lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone. Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them, and said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt worship me. Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: it is written:
The Lord thy God shalt thou worship,
and him only shalt thou serve.


And all the temptation being ended, then the devil left him for a time; and he was with beasts, and behold angels came and ministered to him.
