Luke 4:2-13 ▼

2 for 40 days to be tempted by the Devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they were over, He was hungry.

3 The Devil said to Him, “ If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”

4 But Jesus answered him, “It is written: Man must not live on bread alone.”,,

5 So he took Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

6 The Devil said to Him, “ I will give You their splendor and all this authority, because it has been given over to me, and I can give it to anyone I want.

7 If You, then, will worship me, all will be Yours.”

8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written: Worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.”

9 So he took Him to Jerusalem, 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: He will give His angels orders concerning you, to protect you,

11 and they will support you with their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”

12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said: Do not test the Lord your God.”,

13 After the Devil had finished every temptation, he departed from Him for a time.
