Luke 4:1-13

Jesus is tested in the wilderness

4 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, ²where for forty days he was tempted^[a] by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.

³The devil said to him, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.’

⁴Jesus answered, ‘It is written: “Man shall not live on bread alone.”^[b]’

⁵The devil led him up to a high place and showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world. ⁶And he said to him, ‘I will give you all their authority and splendour; it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. ⁷If you worship me, it will all be yours.’

⁸Jesus answered, ‘It is written: “Worship the Lord your God and serve him only.”^[c]’

⁹The devil led him to Jerusalem and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. ‘If you are the Son of God,’ he said, ‘throw yourself down from here. ¹⁰For it is written:

‘“He will command his angels concerning you
to guard you carefully;
¹¹they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”^[d]’

¹²Jesus answered, ‘It is said: “Do not put the Lord your God to the test.”^[e]’

¹³When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
