Matthew 4:1-11

The Temptation of Jesus

^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

‘On their 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 the ¹Lord 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 the ¹Lord your God, and ²serve Him only.’” 11 Then the devil *left Him; and behold, ^aangels came and began to minister to Him.

The Temptation of Jesus

^aNow Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, ^breturned from the Jordan and was being led around ¹by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 for ^aforty days, being tempted by the devil. And He ate nothing during those days, and when they had finished, He was hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” 4 And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘^aMan shall not live on bread alone.’”
5 ^aAnd he led Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of ¹^bthe world in a moment of time. 6 And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this ¹^adominion and ²its glory, ^bfor it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore if You ¹worship before me, it shall all be Yours.” 8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, ‘^aYou shall worship the ¹Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
9 ^aAnd he led Him to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,

‘^aHe will command His angels concerning You to guard You,’

11 and,

‘^aOn their hands they will bear You up,

Lest You strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It is said, ‘^aYou shall not put the ¹Lord your God to the test.’”
13 And when the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
