1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness, 2 where for forty days he endured temptations from the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were completed, he was famished. 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 does not live by bread alone.'| 5 Then the devil led him up to a high place and showed him in a flash all the kingdoms of the world. 6 And he said to him, |To you I will grant this whole realm--and the glory that goes along with it, for it has been relinquished to me, and I can give it to anyone I wish. 7 So then, if you will worship me, all this will be yours.| 8 Jesus answered him, |It is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only him.'| Luke 4:1-8, New English Translation.
