Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13

Then JESUS, full of the HOLY SPIRIT, returned from the Jordan River and was immediately sent by the SPIRIT into the wilderness, with the wild animals, to be tempted by the devil for forty days and forty nights, during which JESUS ate nothing. When those days were over he was very hungry. The tempter came and said to him, "If you are the SON of GOD, command these rocks to become food." JESUS answered him, "It is written, 'A person does not live on food alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil takes him into the holy city of Jerusalem, to the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the SON of GOD, throw yourself down from here, for it is written that GOD will command his angels in charge of you to protect you, that they will catch you with their own hands, lest you strike your foot against a stone." JESUS answered, "Again, it is written, "You must not test the LORD your GOD.'" Then the devil takes him onto a very high mountain, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil says to him, "I have been given the authority to give to whomever I want all of these kingdoms and all of the power and glory which is in them. I will give all of these things to you if you will bow down and worship me." JESUS answered him and said, "Get away from me, satan! For it is written, 'You must worship the LORD your GOD and him only shall you serve.'" The devil ended his temptations and departed from him for a while. And behold, angels came and ministered to him.
