Jesus is Tempted
Matthew Chapter 4
|
| 4:1 |
Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. |
|
|
|
| 4:2 |
And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred. |
|
|
|
| 4:3 |
And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. |
|
|
|
| 4:4 |
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. |
|
|
|
| 4:5 |
Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, |
|
|
|
| 4:6 |
And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone. |
|
|
|
| 4:7 |
Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. |
|
|
|
| 4:8 |
Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; |
|
|
|
| 4:9 |
And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me. |
|
|
|
| 4:10 |
Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. |
