Matthew 3:13–4:4
13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John in order to be baptized by him. 14 But John tried to prevent* him, saying, “⌊I need⌋b to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered and* said to him, “Permit it now, for in this way it is right for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he permitted him. 16 Now after he* was baptized, Jesus immediately went up from the water, and behold, the heavens openedc and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove comingd upon him. 17 And behold, there wase a voice from heaven saying, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”
4 Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tempted by the devil, 2 and after he* had fasted forty days and forty nights, then he was hungry. 3 And the tempter approached and* said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order that these stones become bread.” 4 But he answered and* said, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’ ”a
