1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit into the desert, 2 where he was tempted by the devil for forty days. He didn’t eat anything during that whole time, so at the end he was starving.
3 The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
4 "It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not live on bread alone,’"4:4. Quoting Deuteronomy 8:3. Jesus answered.
5 The devil led him up to a high place, and in a rapid view showed him all the kingdoms of the world. 6 Then the devil said to Jesus, "I will give you authority over all of them, and their glory. This authority has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want. 7 Bow down and worship me and you can have it all."
8 "It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve only him,’"4:8. Quoting Deuteronomy 6:13. Jesus replied.
9 The devil took Jesus to Jerusalem, set him on the top of the Temple, and told him, "If you are the Son of God, then jump! 10 For it is written in Scripture, ‘He will order his angels to care for you, 11 holding you up to protect you from stumbling over a stone.’"4:11. Quoting Psalms 91:11-12.
12 "It is written in Scripture, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God,’"4:12. Quoting Deuteronomy 6:16. Jesus replied. 13 When the devil had completed all his temptations, he waited for another opportunity.4:13. Or "for an opportune time."
