Matthew 4:1-7

11ThenG5119 JesusG2424 was ledG321 upG321 by the SpiritG4151 into the wildernessG2048 2to be temptedG3985 by the devilG1228. 2And after He had 3fastedG3522 for fortyG5065 daysG2250 and fortyG5065 nightsG3571, He 4thenG5305 became hungryG3983. 3And 5the tempterG3985 cameG4334 and saidG3004 to Him, “IfG1487 You are the 6SonG5207 of GodG2316, commandG3004 that theseG3778 stonesG3037 becomeG1096 breadG740.” 4But He answeredG611 and saidG3004, “It is writtenG1125: ‘7ManG444 shall not liveG2198 on breadG740 aloneG3441, but on everyG3956 wordG4487 that comesG1607 outG1607 ofG1223 the mouthG4750 of GodG2316.’”

5ThenG5119 the devilG1228 tookG3880 Him alongG3880 into 8the holyG40 cityG4172 and had Him standG2476 on the pinnacleG4419 of the templeG2413, 6and he saidG3004 to Him, “IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, throwG906 YourselfG4572 downG2736; for it is writtenG1125: ‘9He will giveG1781 His angelsG32 ordersG1781 concerningG4012 You’; and ‘On their handsG5495 they will liftG142 You up, SoG3379 thatG3379 You do notG3379 strikeG4350 Your footG4228 againstG4314 a stoneG3037.’” 7JesusG2424 saidG5346 to him, “10On the otherG3825 handG3825, it is writtenG1125: ‘11You shall not putG1598 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 toG1598 theG1598 testG1598.’”
