Matthew 4: 1 - 11
|
| 1 | Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. |
| 2 | And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry. |
| 3 | And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." |
| 4 | But he answered, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" |
| 5 | Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, |
| 6 | and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, `He will give his angels charge of you,' and `On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.'" |
| 7 | Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, `You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'" |
| 8 | Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; |
| 9 | and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me." |
| 10 | Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'" |
| 11 | Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him. |
