1 The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert, so that the devil could test him. 2 After Jesus had gone without eating for forty days and nights, he was very hungry. 3 Then the devil came to him and said, "If you are God's Son, tell these stones to turn into bread." 4 Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say: 'No one can live only on food. People need every word that God has spoken.' " 5 Next, the devil took Jesus to the holy city and had him stand on the highest part of the temple. 6 The devil said, "If you are God's Son, jump off. The Scriptures say: 'God will give his angels orders about you. They will catch you in their arms, and you won't hurt your feet on the stones.' " 7 Jesus answered, "The Scriptures also say, 'Don't try to test the Lord your God!' " 8 Finally, the devil took Jesus up on a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms on earth and their power. 9 The devil said to him, "I will give all this to you, if you will bow down and worship me." 10 Jesus answered, "Go away Satan! The Scriptures say: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.' " 11 Then the devil left Jesus, and angels came to help him.
