Matthew 4:1-11.

²And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry.
³And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread."
⁴But he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.' "
⁵Then the devil took him to the holy city, and 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 give his angels charge of you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.' "
⁷Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.' "
⁸Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them;
⁹and he said to him, "All these I will give to you, if you will fall down and worship me."
¹⁰Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.' "
