Traditional Latin Mass Gospel Readings

[1]Then Jesus was led by the spirit into the desert, to be tempted by the devil.
Tunc Jesus ductus est in desertum a Spiritu, ut tentaretur a diabolo.

2 And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he was hungry.
Et cum jejunasset quadraginta diebus, et quadraginta noctibus, postea esuriit.

3 And the tempter coming said to him: If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Et accedens tentator dixit ei : Si Filius Dei es, dic ut lapides isti panes fiant.

4 Who answered and said: It is written, Not in bread alone doth man live, but in every word that proceedeth from the mouth of God.
Qui respondens dixit : Scriptum est : Non in solo pane vivit homo, sed in omni verbo, quod procedit de ore Dei.

5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple,
Tunc assumpsit eum diabolus in sanctam civitatem, et statuit eum super pinnaculum templi,

6 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.
et dixit ei : Si Filius Dei es, mitte te deorsum. Scriptum est enim : Quia angelis suis mandavit de te, et in manibus tollent te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum.

7 Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Ait illi Jesus : Rursum scriptum est : Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum.

8 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,
Iterum assumpsit eum diabolus in montem excelsum valde : et ostendit ei omnia regna mundi, et gloriam eorum,

9 And said to him: All these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me.
et dixit ei : Haec omnia tibi dabo, si cadens adoraveris me.

10 Then Jesus saith to him: Begone, Satan: for it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.
Tunc dicit ei Jesus : Vade Satana : Scriptum est enim : Dominum Deum tuum adorabis, et illi soli servies.

11 Then the devil left him; and behold angels came and ministered to him.
Tunc reliquit eum diabolus : et ecce angeli accesserunt, et ministrabant ei.
