>Paradise Regained is an epic poem by English poet John Milton, first published in 1671.[1] The volume in which it appeared also contained the poet's closet drama Samson Agonistes. Paradise Regained is connected by name to his earlier and more famous epic poem Paradise Lost, with which it shares similar theological themes; indeed, its title, its use of blank verse, and its progression through Christian history recall the earlier work. However, this effort deals primarily with the temptation of Christ as recounted in the Gospel of Luke.
PLOT
Book 1
Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist. Satan schemes with the demons against Jesus after witnessing the baptism.
In Heaven, God tells the angels of Satan's arrogance, and He is praised.
Jesus then fasts in the wilderness for 40 days. Satan tempts Jesus with bread but is rebuked. Jesus allows Satan to linger with limitations, staying vigilant. Night falls.
Book 2
Simon the Zealot and Andrew the Apostle witness Jesus' baptism, recognizing Him as the Messiah. They lose sight of Him, prompting a frantic search. Jesus' mother, Mother Mary, shares their concern, recalling a time when she lost Jesus at 12 years old.
Satan tells his demons of the challenging temptation ahead, dismissing Belial's honey trapping suggestion due to his belief in pride's strength.
Jesus dreams of Elijah fed by ravens, then resists temptations of Satan: a banquet is offered and rejected; He is tempted with money, and reminds Satan of King David's humble beginnings.
Book 3
Satan flatters Christ's wisdom but taunts his lack of achievement compared to Alexander the Great at 30. Jesus rejects violence, seeing suffering as his path. Satan suggests alliances and freeing the Ten Tribes, but Christ chooses divine providence.
Book 4
Satan tempts Christ with Ancient Rome, offering all kingdoms in exchange for His allegiance. Christ declines, rebuking Satan by referencing the Book of Exodus.
Satan tries to tempt Christ with Ancient Greek wisdom, but Jesus prefers the Psalms.
Satan then subjects Christ to a perilous night before attempting to lure Him to Jerusalem's temple. Jesus resists, quoting Scripture. Satan fails, and angels aid Christ and return Him to Mary, celebrating His triumph.
If even one part of this is going to be implemented, we're in for some kino.
