Luke 4:1-4

The Temptation of Jesus

1 ¹Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, ²returned from the Jordan and was led around by the Spirit in the wilderness

2 for ³forty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing * during those days, and when they had ended, He became hungry.

3 And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

4 And Jesus answered him, "It is written, '⁴MAN SHALL NOT LIVE ON BREAD ALONE.' "
