8.10 The Fasting and Temptation of Jesus

MT 4:1-11

1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be

tempted by the devil. 2 And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and

afterward he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread." 4 But he answered, "It is written,

'Man shall not live by bread alone,

but by every word that proceeds

from the mouth of God.'"
