Luke 4:1-13  (New International Version)<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 <\/span>Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spiritinto the wilderness,<\/span> 2 <\/sup>where for forty days he was tempted by the devil.He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 <\/sup>The devil said to him, \u201cIf you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 <\/sup>Jesus answered, \u201cIt is written: \u2018Man shall not live on bread alone.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 <\/sup>The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world.<\/span> 6 <\/sup>And he said to him, \u201cI will give you all their authority and splendor; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to.<\/span> 7 <\/sup>If you worship me, it will all be yours.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

8 <\/sup>Jesus answered, \u201cIt is written: \u2018Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

9 <\/sup>The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. \u201cIf you are the Son of God,\u201d he said, \u201cthrow yourself down from here.<\/span> 10 <\/sup>For it is written:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201c\u2018He will command his angels concerning you<\/span>
\n    <\/span>to guard you carefully;<\/span><\/span>
\n11 <\/sup>they will lift you up in their hands,<\/span>
\n    <\/span>so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

12 <\/sup>Jesus answered, \u201cIt is said: \u2018Do not put the Lord your God to the test.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

13 <\/sup>When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
