1 Then the Spirit led Jesus up into the wilderness so that the devil might tempt him.
2
After Jesus had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he was starving.
3
The tempter came to him and said, "Since you are God's Son, command these stones to become bread."
4
Jesus replied, " It's written, People won't live only by bread, but by every word spoken by God."
5
After that the devil brought him into the holy city and stood him at the highest point of the temple. He said to him,
6
"Since you are God's Son, throw yourself down; for it is written, I will command my angels concerning you, and they will take you up in their hands so that you won't hit your foot on a stone."
7
Jesus replied, " Again it's written, Don't test the Lord your God."
8
Then the devil brought him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.
9
He said, "I'll give you all these if you bow down and worship me."
10
Jesus responded, " Go away, Satan, because it's written, You will worship the Lord your God and serve only him."
11
The devil left him, and angels came and took care of him.
