Luke 4:1–21

¹And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, turned back from the Jordan, and was brought in the Spirit to the wilderness, ²forty days being tempted by the Devil, and he did not eat anything in those days, and they having been ended, he afterward hungered, ³and the Devil said to him, ‘If Son thou art of God, speak to this stone that it may become bread.’ ⁴And Jesus answered him, saying, ‘It hath been written, that, not on bread only shall man live, but on every saying of God.’ ⁵And the Devil having brought him up to an high mountain, shewed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, ⁶and the Devil said to him, ‘To thee I will give all this authority, and their glory, because to me it hath been delivered, and to whomsoever I will, I do give it; ⁷thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me—all shall be thine.’ ⁸And Jesus answering him said, ‘Get thee behind me, Adversary, for it hath been written, Thou shalt bow before the Lord thy God, and Him only thou shalt serve.’ ⁹And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, ‘If the Son thou art of God, cast thyself down hence, ¹⁰for it hath been written—To His messengers He will give charge concerning thee, to guard over thee, ¹¹and—On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.’ ¹²And Jesus answering said to him—‘It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.’ ¹³And having ended all temptation, the Devil departed from him till a convenient season.
