1 Joshua+ , full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 Joshua+ answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘[And he afflicted you and straitened you with hunger, and fed you with manna, which your fathers knew not; that he might teach you that] Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”
5 The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 The devil said to him, “I will give you all this authority and their doxa, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I want. 7 If you therefore will proskyneō before me, it will all be yours.”
8 Joshua+ answered him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘[phobeō the Lord your God and latreuō him and cling to him and honor his name; and you shall cleave to him, and by his name you shall swear.].’ ”
9 He led him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here, 10 for it is written, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;’ 11 and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
12 Joshua+ answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God [as y'all tempted him at Rephidim].’ ”
13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
14 Joshua+ returned in the power of the Spirit into Galilee, and news about him spread through all the surrounding area. 15 He taught in their synagogues, being doxazō by all.
16 He came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up. He entered, as was his custom, into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 The book of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. He opened the book, and found the place where it was written,
18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.
He has sent me to heal the broken hearted,*
to proclaim release to the captives,
recovering of sight to the blind,
