Luke 4:2-13 ▼

2 Being tempted forty days by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days: and they having ended, he afterward hungered.

3 And the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, say thou to this stone that it might be bread.

4 And Jesus answered to him saying, It has been written, That not by bread alone shall man live, but by every word of God.

5 And the devil, bringing him into a high mountain, shewed him all the kingdoms of the habitable globe in an instant of time.

6 And the devil said to him, I will give thee all this power, and their glory; for to me has it been delivered; and to whom I will I give it.

7 Therefore if thou worship before me, all shall be thine.

8 And having answered him Jesus said, Retire behind me, Satan: for it has been written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

9 And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him upon the small wing of the temple, and said to him, If thou art the Son of God; cast thyself down from hence:

10 For it has been written, That he shall charge his messengers concerning thee, to watch over thee:

11 And upon hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou shouldest strike thy foot against a stone.

12 And Jesus having answered said to him, That it has been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

13 And having ended all the trial, the devil departed from him for a time.
