Luke 4:5-13

5Then the devil took him up and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6“I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them,” the devil said, “because they are mine to give to anyone I please.

7I will give it all to you if you will worship me.”

8Jesus replied, “The Scriptures say, ‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ”

9Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off!

10For the Scriptures say, ‘He will order his angels to protect and guard you.

11And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’”

12Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”

13When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.
