Matthew 4:1-11
New International Version (NIV)
Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness
4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted[a] by the devil. 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to him and said, �If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.�
4 Jesus answered, �It is written: �Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.�[b]�
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 �If you are the Son of God,� he said, �throw yourself down. For it is written:
��He will command his angels concerning you,
and they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.�[c]�
7 Jesus answered him, �It is also written: �Do not put the Lord your God to the test.�[d]�
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 9 �All this I will give you,� he said, �if you will bow down and worship me.�
10 Jesus said to him, �Away from me, Satan! For it is written: �Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.�[e]�
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
