Mateus 4

The Temptation of Jesus

1 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil. 2 After fasting for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 Then the tempter came up *4:3 to him and said ¦ and said to him CTto him and said, "If yoʋ are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread." 4 But Jesus answered, "It is written,

‘Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ "

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city, set him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to him, "If yoʋ are the Son of God, throw yoʋrself down, for it is written,

‘He will command his angels concerning yoʋ,’

and,

‘In their hands they will lift yoʋ up,

so that yoʋ do not strike yoʋr foot against a stone.’ "

7 Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, ‘Yoʋ shall not put the Lord yoʋr God to the test.’ " 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, "All these things I will give yoʋ, if yoʋ will fall down and worship me." 10 Then Jesus said to him, "*4:10 Get behind me 87.6% ¦ Go away CT TR 11.7%Get behind me, Satan! For it is written,

‘Yoʋ shall worship the Lord yoʋr God,

and him only shall yoʋ serve.’ "

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
