[4:1] Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness [4:2] for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry. [4:3] The devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread."
[4:4] Jesus answered him, saying, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.'"[*]
[4:5] The devil, leading him up on a high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. [4:6] The devil said to him, "I will give you all this authority, and their glory, for it has been delivered to me; and I give it to whomever I want. [4:7] If you therefore will worship before me, it will all be yours."
[4:8] Jesus answered him, "Get behind me Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.'"[*]
[4:9] He led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from here, [4:10] for it is written,
'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'
[4:11] and,
'On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.'"[*]
[4:12] Jesus answering, said to him, "It has been said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"[*]
