Luke 4:1-8 ▼

1 Then Jesus, filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan. He was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

2 where he was being tempted by the devil for 40 days. During that time he ate nothing at all, and when they were over he became hungry.

3 The devil told him, |Since you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become a loaf of bread.|

4 Jesus answered him, |It is written, 'One must not live on bread alone, but on every word of God.'|

5 The devil also took him to a high place and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant.

6 He told Jesus, |I will give you all this authority, along with their glory, because it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone I please.

7 So if you will worship me, all this will be yours.|

8 But Jesus answered him, |It is written, 'You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'|
