Luke 4:2-13 ▼

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.'|

9 He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, |If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here,

10 for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'

11 and, 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'|

12 And Jesus, answering, said to him, |It is said, 'Do not test the Lord, your God.'|

13 When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until another time.
