Matthew 4:1-11

by the Spirit

into the wilderness

to be tempted

by the devil.

And after He had fasted

forty days and forty nights,

He then became hungry.

And the tempter came

and said to Him,

"If You are the Son of God,

command that these stones become bread."

But He answered

and said, "It is written,

'MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE,

BUT ON EVERY WORD THAT PROCEEDS OUT OF THE MOUTH OF GOD.'"

Then the devil took Him into the holy city

and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,

and said to Him,

"If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,

'HE WILL COMMAND HIS ANGELS CONCERNING YOU'; 'ON their HANDS THEY WILL BEAR YOU UP, SO THAT YOU WILL NOT STRIKE YOUR FOOT AGAINST A STONE.'"

Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written,

'YOU SHALL NOT PUT THE LORD YOUR GOD TO THE TEST.'"

Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain

and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world

and their glory;

and he said to Him,

"All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me."

Then Jesus said to him, "Go, Satan! For it is written,

'YOU SHALL WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, AND SERVE HIM ONLY.'"

Then the devil left Him;

and behold, angels came

and began to minister to Him.
