Luke 4:1-13 (NKJV)
Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the
Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days
He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become
bread.”

4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but
by every word of God.’ ”
5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the
world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You,
and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7
Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You
shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to
Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here. 10 For it is written:
‘He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,’ 11 and, ‘In their hands they
shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord
your God.’ ”
13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an
opportune time.
