Luke 4:1-7

1 Jesus returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 where he was tempted by the Devil for forty days. In all that time he ate nothing, so that he was hungry when it was over.
3 The Devil said to him, "If you are God's Son, order this stone to turn into bread."
4 But Jesus answered, "The scripture says, "Human beings cannot live on bread alone.' " 1
5 Then the Devil took him up and showed him in a second all the kingdoms of the world.
6 "I will give you all this power and all this wealth," the Devil told him. "It has all been handed over to me, and I can give it to anyone I choose.
7 All this will be yours, then, if you worship me."
