Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

²

being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

³

And the devil said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."

⁴

But Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.' "

⁵

Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

⁶

And the devil said to Him, "All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

⁷

Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.

⁸

And Jesus answered and said to him, "Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.' "

⁹

Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.

¹⁰

For it is written:'He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you,'

¹¹

and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.' "

¹²

And Jesus answered and said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.' "

¹³

Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.

¹⁴

Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.

¹⁵

And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
