1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness 2 for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. When they were completed, 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, saying, |It is written, 'Man does not live by bread alone.'| 5 And leading him up to a high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. 6 The devil said to him, |I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want. 7 If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours.| 8 Jesus answered and said to him, |It is written, 'You are to worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.'| Luke 4:1-8, New Heart English Bible.
