Matthew 4:1-11

1 ^aThen Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness ^bto be tempted by the devil. 2 And after He had ^cfasted forty days and forty nights, He ^{▼▼ Lit later became; or afterward became}then became hungry. 3 And ^ethe tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the ^fSon of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘ ^g Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”

5 Then the devil took Him into ^hthe holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written, ‘ ⁱ He will command His angels concerning You’;
and
‘On their hands they will bear You up,
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

7 Jesus said to him, ^{▼▼ Lit Again}“On the other hand, it is written, ‘ ^k You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8 ^lAgain, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; 9 and he said to Him, ^m“All these things I will give You, if You fall down and ^{▼▼ Lit prostrate Yourself}worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘ ^o You shall worship the Lord your God, and ^{▼▼ Or fulfill religious duty to Him} serve Him only.’” 11 Then the devil left Him; and behold, ^qangels came and began to minister to Him.
