Luke 4:1-6

The Temptation of Jesus

1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
2 forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days, and [when] they were completed, he was hungry.
3 So the devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, order this stone that it become bread!"
4 And Jesus replied to him, "It is written, 'Man will not live on bread alone.'"
5 And he led him up [and] showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to him, "I will give you all this domain and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I want.

  • [c]. *Here "[and]" is supplied because the previous participle ("led ... up") has been translated as a finite verb
