¹ When Jesus returned from the Jordan River, the power of the Holy Spirit was with him, and the Spirit led him into the desert. ² For forty days Jesus was tested by the devil, and during that time he went without eating. When it was all over, he was hungry. ³ The devil said to Jesus, "If you are God's Son, tell this stone to turn into bread." ⁴ Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say, 'No one can live only on food.' " ⁵ Then the devil led Jesus up to a high place and quickly showed him all the nations on earth. ⁶ The devil said, "I will give all this power and glory to you. It has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. ⁷ Just worship me, and you can have it all." ⁸ Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!' " ⁹ Finally, the devil took Jesus to Jerusalem and had him stand on top of the temple. The devil said, "If you are God's Son, jump off. ¹⁰ The Scriptures say: 'God will tell his angels to take care of you. They will catch you in their arms, and you will not hurt your feet on the stones.' " ¹¹ (SEE 4:10) ¹² Jesus answered, "The Scriptures also say, 'Don't try to test the Lord your God!' " ¹³ After the devil had finished testing Jesus in every way possible, he left him for a while.
