Luke 4:1-8

The Temptation of Jesus

1 ¹And Jesus, ²full of the Holy Spirit, ³returned from the Jordan and was led ⁴by the Spirit in the wilderness

2 for ⁵forty days, ⁶being tempted by the devil. ⁷And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, ⁸he was hungry.

3 The devil said to him, “If you are ⁹the Son of God, command ¹⁰this stone to become bread. ”

4 And Jesus answered him, ¹¹“It is written, ¹²‘Man shall not live by bread alone. ’”

5 ¹³And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time,

6 and said to him, “To you ¹⁴I will give all this authority and their glory, ¹⁵for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.

7 If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours. ”

8 And Jesus answered him, ¹⁶“It is written, ¹⁷“‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and ¹⁸him only shall you serve. ’”
