Berean Standard Bible

Matthew 4:3-10

3The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4But Jesus answered, “It is written:

‘Man shall not live on bread alone,but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’1”

5Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle 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 footagainst a stone.’2”

7Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’3”

8Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9“All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”

10“Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus told him. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’4”
