Luke 4:1-13
1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
2for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry.
3The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
4Jesus answered him, saying,"It is written, `Man will not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.`"
5The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited world in a moment of time.
6The 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.
7If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
8Jesus answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written, `You will worship the Lord your God, and him only will you serve.`"
9He 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,
10for it is written, `He will give his angels charge concerning you, to guard you;`
11and, `On their hands they will bear you up, Lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.`"
12Jesus answering, said to him, "It has been said, `You shall not tempt the Lord your God.`"
13When the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for awhile.
