Matthew 4

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

²When he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was hungry afterward.

³The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

⁴But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’”

⁵Then the devil took him into the holy city. He set him on the pinnacle of the temple,

⁶and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”

⁷Jesus said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord, your God.’”

⁸Again, the devil took him to an exceedingly high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

⁹He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”

¹⁰Then Jesus said to him, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

¹¹Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and served him.

¹²Now when Jesus heard that John was delivered up, he withdrew into Galilee.

¹³Leaving Nazareth, he came and lived in Capernaum, which is by the sea, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali,
