Jesus Is Tempted by the Devil
4 Now filled with the Holy Spirit, Jesus returned from the Jordan River.
And then the Spirit led him into the desert.
2 There the devil tempted Jesus for 40 days.
Jesus ate nothing during this time, and when it was finished, he was very hungry.
3 The devil said to him,
“If you are the Son of God, tell this rock to become bread.”
4 Jesus answered,
“The Scriptures say,
‘It is not just bread that keeps people alive.’”
5 Then the devil took Jesus and in a moment of time showed him all the kingdoms of the world.
6 The devil said to him,
“I will make you king over all these places.
You will have power over them, and you will get all the glory.
It has all been given to me.
I can give it to anyone I want.
7 I will give it all to you, if you will only worship me.”
8 Jesus answered,
“The Scriptures say,
‘You must worship the Lord your God.
Serve only him.’”
9 Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and put him on a high place at the edge of the Temple area. He said to him,
“If you are the Son of God, jump off!
10 The Scriptures say,
‘God will command his angels to take care of you.’
11 It is also written,
‘Their hands will catch you
so that you will not hit your foot on a rock.’”
12 Jesus answered,
“But the Scriptures also say,
‘You must not test the Lord your God.’”
13 The devil finished tempting Jesus in every way and went away to wait until a better time.

Luke 4:1-13 (ERV)

The Temptation of Jesus
1 Jesus returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit and was led by the Spirit into the desert,
2 where he was tempted by the Devil for forty days. In all that time he ate nothing, so that he was hungry when it was over.
3 The Devil said to him, “If you are God’s Son, order this stone to turn into bread.”
4 But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Human beings cannot live on bread alone.’”
5 Then the Devil took him up and showed him in a second all the kingdoms of the world.
6 “I will give you all this power and all this wealth,” the Devil told him. “It has all been handed over to me, and I can give it to anyone I choose.
7 All this will be yours, then, if you worship me.”
8 Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!’”
9 Then the Devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest point of the Temple, and said to him, “If you are God’s Son, throw yourself down from here.
10 For the scripture says, ‘God will order his angels to take good care of you.’
11 It also says, ‘They will hold you up with their hands so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.’”
12 But Jesus answered, “The scripture says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
13 When the Devil finished tempting Jesus in every way, he left him for a while.
