Matthew:4:1-11
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil .
*
And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights ,
afterward He was hungry .
*
Now when the tempter came to Him ,
he said , "
If You are the Son of God ,
command that these stones become bread ."
*
But He answered and said , "
It is written , "
Man shall not live by bread alone ,
but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God ."'
*
Then the devil took Him up into the holy city ,
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 charge over you ,'
and , "
In their hands they shall bear you up ,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone ."'
*
Jesus said to him , "
It is written again , "
You shall not tempt the LORD your God ."'
*
Again ,
the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain ,
and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory .
*
And he said to Him , "
All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me ."
*
Then Jesus said to him , "
Away with you ,
Satan !
For it is written , "
You shall worship the LORD your God ,
and Him only you shall serve ."'
*
Then the devil left Him ,
and behold ,
angels came and ministered to Him .
