Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, ?If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.?
4 Jesus answered, ?It is written: ?Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.??
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 ?If you are the Son of God,? he said, ?throw yourself down. For it is written:
??He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.??
7 Jesus answered him, ?It is also written: ?Do not put the Lord your God to the test.??
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 ?All this I will give you,? he said, ?if you will bow down and worship me.?
10 Jesus said to him, ?Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ?Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.??
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
