Luke 4:1-4

Modern English Version

The Temptation of Jesus^(A)

4 Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, ² being tempted by the devil for forty days. During those days He ate nothing. And when they were ended, He was hungry.

³ The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

⁴ Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’^[a]”
