The Temptation of Jesus
4 Then(A) Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.(B) 2 After he had fasted for forty days and forty nights,(C) he was hungry. 3 Then the tempter approached him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.’(D)
4 He answered, ‘It is written: Man must not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’(E)[a]
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, stood him on the pinnacle of the temple,(F) 6 and said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written:
He will give his angels(G) orders concerning you,
and they will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.’[b](H)
7 Jesus told him, ‘It is also written: Do not test the Lord your God.’(I)[c]
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. 9 And he said to him, ‘I will give you all these things if you will fall down and worship me.’[d]
10 Then Jesus told him, ‘Go away,[e] Satan! For it is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’[f](J)
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and began to serve him.(K)
