Matthew 4:1-11
1Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.
3The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."
4But he answered, "It is written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.`"
5Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,
6and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, `He will give his angels charge concerning you.` and, `On their hands they will bear you up, So that you don`t dash your foot against a stone.`"
7Jesus said to him, "Again, it is written, `You shall not test the Lord, your God.`"
8Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory.
9He said to him, "I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
10Then Jesus said to him, "Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, `You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.`"
11Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
