4aThen Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness bto be tempted by the devil. 2And after He had afasted forty days and forty nights, He 1then became hungry. 3And athe tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the bSon of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4But 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.’”
5Then the devil *took Him into athe holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and *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.’”
8aAgain, the devil *took Him to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; 9and he said to Him, “aAll these things I will give You, if You fall down and 1worship me.” 10Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘aYou shall worship the 1Lord your God, and 2serve Him only.’” 11Then the devil *left Him; and behold, aangels came and began to minister to Him.
