Luke 4:1-6

Jesus Is Tempted

1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River. The Spirit led him into the desert.

2 There the devil tempted him for 40 days. Jesus ate nothing during that time. At the end of the 40 days, he was hungry.

3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread."

4 Jesus answered, "It is written, 'Man doesn't live only on bread.' "(Deuteronomy 8:3)

5 Then the devil led Jesus up to a high place. In an instant, he showed Jesus all the kingdoms of the world.

6 He said to him, "I will give you all their authority and glory. It has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.
