[4:1] Jesus returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
[4:2] where he was tempted by the Devil for forty days. In all that time he ate nothing, so that he was hungry when it was over.
[4:3] The Devil said to him, “If you are God's Son, order this stone to turn into bread.”
[4:4] But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone.’”
[4:5] Then the Devil took him up and showed him in a second all the kingdoms of the world.
[4:6] “I will give you all this power and all this wealth,” the Devil told him. “It has all been handed over to me, and I can give it to anyone I choose.
[4:7] All this will be yours, then, if you worship me.”
[4:8] Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!’”
[4:9] Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest point of the Temple, and said to him, “If you are God's Son, throw yourself down from here.
[4:10] For the scripture says, ‘God will order his angels to take good care of you.’
[4:11] It also says, ‘They will hold you up with their hands so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.’”
[4:12] But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
[4:13] When the Devil finished tempting Jesus in every way, he left him for a while.
