aThen Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness bto be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had afasted forty days and forty nights, He 1then became hungry. 3 And athe tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the bSon of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘aMan shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’” 5 Then the devil *took Him into athe holy city and had Him stand 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,
‘aHe will command His angels concerning You’;
and
‘Ontheir hands they will bear You up,
Lest You strike Your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘aYou shall not put the1Lord your God to the test.’” 8 aAgain, 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, “aAll these things I will give You, if You fall down and 1worship me.” 10 Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘aYou shall worship the1Lord your God, and2serve Him only.’”11 Then the devil *left Him; and behold, aangels came and began to minister to Him.
