Luke 4:5-13

5After that, the Devil led Jesus up to a high place. In one moment, he showed Jesus all the countries in the whole world.

6He said to Jesus, ‘I will let you rule the whole world. I will give you power over all these things. That power all belongs to me. So I can give it to anyone that I choose.

7You must bend down low and worship me. Then I will give you power over the whole world.’

8‘No!’ Jesus replied, ‘The Bible says, “Only worship your Lord God. He is the only one that you should obey.” ’

9The Devil now took Jesus to Jerusalem. He took him to stand on the highest part of the temple. Then he said to Jesus, ‘If you are the Son of God, jump down from here to the ground.

10You know that the Bible says: “God will tell his angels to keep you safe.”

11“They will hold you safely in their hands. They will not let you hurt your foot on a stone.” ’

12‘No!’ Jesus replied. ‘The Bible says, “Do not test the Lord God, to see if he will save you.” ’

13In those ways, the Devil tried to make Jesus do many wrong things. When he had finished this, he left Jesus alone. He waited for another chance.
