Then the tempter came to Him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to turn into bread." But Jesus answered and said to him, "It is written: 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes out from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple. Then he said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that Your foot will not strike against a stone.’” Again Jesus said to him, "You shall not test the Lord your God.." Then the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; “All this I will give to You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.” But Jesus said to him, "Away from Me satan! For it is written: 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve...'" (Matthew 4:3-10)

Let us give thanks to the gracious and merciful God, the Father of our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ, for He has protected, assisted, preserved and accepted us, had compassion upon us, supported us and brought us till this hour. Let us also ask Him the Almighty God, to keep us in peace this blessed day, and all the days of our life. O Lord, Master and Almighty God, the Father of our Lord, God and Saviour Jesus Christ, we thank You on every occasion, in every condition and for all things, for You have protected, assisted, preserved, accepted us, had compassion upon us, supported us and brought us till this hour. Therefore, we ask and appeal to Your goodness, O Lover-of-mankind that You grant us to conclude this blessed day and all the days of our life in peace and in Your fear. All envy, all temptation, all works of Satan, all intrigues of the wicked; rising up of enemies, seen and unseen; do cast away from us and all your people, and from this Holy place. Grant us the endowments and benefactions, as You have given us the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, through the grace, mercy and love of mankind of Your only begotten Son, our Lord God and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Glory, honour, dominion and worship are due to You together with Him and the Life- Giving and consubstantial Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
