Matthew 4:1-11
The Temptation of Jesus
1 a Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness b to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting c forty days and forty nights, he d was hungry. 3 And e the tempter came and said to him, “If you are f the Son of God, command g these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, h “It is written, i “‘Man shall not live by bread alone,but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 j Then the devil took him to k the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, l “‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and “‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “Again m it is written n ‘You shall not o put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 p Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone q Satan! For r it is written, s “‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and t him only shall you serve.’”
11 Then the devil left him, and behold u angels came and were ministering to him.
