MT 4:1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. ² After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. ³ The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."

^{MT 4:4} Jesus answered, "It is written: `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.' "

^{MT 4:5} Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. ⁶ "If you are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down. For it is written:

" `He will command his angels concerning you,

and they will lift you up in their hands,

so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.' "

^{MT 4:7} Jesus answered him, "It is also written: `Do not put the Lord your God to the test.' "

^{MT 4:8} Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. ⁹ "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me."

^{MT 4:10} Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: `Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.' "

^{MT 4:11} Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
