Matthew 4:1-11

Then Jesus was led into the desert by the Spirit to be tempted by the Devil.
After he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
And the tempter approached him and said, "If you are The Son of God, command these stones, 'become bread,'"

So he answered, "As it is written,'a person shall not live only on bread, but on everything that comes out of God's mouth.'"

Then the Devil took him to the Holy City and set him on the high point of the temple, and he said to Jesus, "If you are The Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, 'He will His angels this command concerning you to take you up by hand to keep your foot from stumbling on a stone.'"

So Jesus said, "Again it is written, 'Do not test the Lord your God.'"

Again the Devil took him to the highest mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the Earth and how great they are. And he said, I will give all this to you, if you fall doun and bow to me."

Then Jesus told him, "Go away, prosecutor, for it is written, "It is the Lord your God you will worship and you will only serve him."

Then the Devil left him and the Angels came and served him.
