This week's Gospel: 1st Sunday of Lent

The actual Latin source is Codex Sangallensis 56,
but this is believed to be an ultra-faithful copy of Victor's Codex Fuldensis Gospel.

This week’s Gospel as in the Codex Fuldensis Gospel: 1st Sunday of Lent
Using data publicly available from:
http://www.liturgyoffice.org.uk/Calendar/2009/Mar09.shtml
and The Sunday Missal to cross-check.
This Week's Gospel: Mark 1: 12 - 15
(1st-Mar-2009) 1st Sunday of Lent, Year B

Jesus was tempted by Satan, and the angels looked after him.
The account found here, though winessing the same incident, is almost entirely reported according to Matthew, though there are about nine words,(7 Latin) from Luke, and five words, (3 Latin) from Mark. The tale is embodied in the capitulum following.

XV. Ubi Ihesus ductus est ab spiritu in desertum.
(Where Jesus is lead by the spirit into the desert.)


54: 1
Then Jesus was led by the spirit in the desert,
to be tempted by the devil.
2
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights,
afterwards he was hungry.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
