Then the Spirit led Yeshua up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Adversary.
2
After Yeshua had fasted forty days and nights, he was hungry.
3
The Tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, order these stones to become bread."
4
But he answered, "The Tanakh says, `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of ADONAI'"
5
Then the Adversary took him to the holy city and set him on the highest point of the Temple.
6
"If you are the Son of God," he said, "jump! For the Tanakh says, `He will order his angels to be responsible for you. . . . They will support you with their hands, so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.'"
7
Yeshua replied to him, "But it also says, `Do not put ADONAI your God to the test.'"h
8
Once more, the Adversary took him up to the summit of a very high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory,
9
and said to him, "All this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me."
10
"Away with you, Satan!" Yeshua told him, "For the Tanakh says, `Worship ADONAI your God, and serve only him.'"
