Luke 4:1-6

The Temptation of Jesus

1 1And Jesus, 2full of the Holy Spirit, 3returned from the Jordan and was led 4by the Spirit in the wilderness
2 for 5forty days, 6being tempted by the devil. 7And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, 8he was hungry.
3 The devil said to him, "If you are 9the Son of God, command 10this stone to become bread."
4 And Jesus answered him, 11"It is written, 12'Man shall not live by bread alone.'"
5 13And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,
6 and said to him, "To you 14I will give all this authority and their glory, 15for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.
