Matthew 4:1–10

First Temptation

Mark 1:12, 13; Luke 4:1–4

4Then ^aJesus was led up by ^bthe Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. ²And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. ³Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

⁴But He answered and said, “It is written, ^c‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

Second Temptation

Luke 4:9–12

⁵Then the devil took Him up ^dinto the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

^e‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’

and,

^f‘In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

⁷Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ^g‘You shall not ¹tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

Third Temptation

⁸Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and ^hshowed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

¹⁰Then Jesus said to him, ²“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ⁱ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”
