Matins Gospel
Stand in the fear of God and listen to the Holy Gospel.
A reading from the Gospel according to our teacher Saint Luke the Evangelist.
May His Blessings be with us all.
Luke 4 : 1 - 13
Chapter 4
| 1 | Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
|
| 2 | being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
|
| 3 | And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
|
| 4 | But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God."'
|
| 5 | Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
|
| 6 | And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
|
| 7 | Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours."
|
| 8 | And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, "You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve."'
|
| 9 | Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.
|
| 10 | For it is written: "He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,'
|
| 11 | and, "In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone."'
|
| 12 | And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, "You shall not tempt the LORD your God."'
|
| 13 | Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
|
And Glory be to God forever.
