Matthew 4:1-10

1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2After he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.

3Then the tempter approached him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4He answered, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”

5Then the devil took him to the holy city, had him stand on the pinnacle of the temple,

6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written: He will give his angels orders concerning you, and they will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”

7Jesus told him, “It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.”

8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.

9And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship me.”

10Then Jesus told him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.”
