1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

6 And he said to him, ‘I will give you all their authority and splendour; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.
