Matthew 4:1-6

1 Then Jesus was carried up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted of the devil:
2 and having fasted forty days and forty nights, afterwards he hungered.
3 And the tempter coming up to him said, If thou be Son of God, speak, that these stones may become loaves of bread.
4 But he answering said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word which goes out through God's mouth.
5 Then the devil takes him to the holy city, and sets him upon the edge of the temple,
6 and says to him, If thou be Son of God cast thyself down; for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee, and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in anywise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
