Matthew:4:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit ,
to be tempted by the devil .
*
And having fasted forty days and forty nights ,
afterward He was hungry .
*
And approaching Him ,
the tempter said , "
If You are the Son of God ,
speak so that these stones may become bread ."
*
But He answered and said , "
It is written , '
Man shall not live by bread alone ,
but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God .' "
*
Then the devil took Him up into the holy city ,
and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple ,
*
and said to Him , "
If You are the Son of God ,
throw Yourself down .
For it is written : '
He shall give His angels orders concerning you ,'
and , '
In their hands they will lift you up ,
lest you dash your foot against a stone .' "
*
Jesus said to him , "
Again ,
it is written , '
You shall not tempt the LORD your God .' "
*
Again ,
the devil took Him up on a very high mountain ,
and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world ,
and their glory .
*
And he said to Him , "
All these things will I give You ,
if You will fall down and worship me ."
*
Then Jesus said to him , "
Get behind Me ,
Satan !
For it is written , '
You shall worship the LORD your God ,
and Him alone you shall serve .' "
*
Then the devil left Him ,
and behold ,
angels came and ministered to Him .
