CHAPTER 4
Jesus faces temptation
4:1-2 - Jesus returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit and he was led by the Spirit to spend forty days in the desert, where he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during that time and afterwards he felt very hungry.
4:3 - "If you really are the Son of God," the devil said to him, "tell this stone to turn into a loaf."
4:4 - Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God'."
4:5-7 - Then the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of mankind in a sudden vision, and said to him, "I will give you all this power and magnificence, for it belongs to me and I can give it to anyone I please. It shall all be yours if you will fall down and worship me."
4:8 - To this Jesus replied, "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only you shall serve!"
4:9-11 - Then the devil took him to Jerusalem and set him on the highest ledge of the Temple. "If you really are the Son of God," he said, "throw yourself down from here, for the scripture says, 'He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you', and 'In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone'."
4:12 - To which Jesus replied, "It is also said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God'."
4:13 - And when he had exhausted every kind of temptation, the devil withdrew until his next opportunity.
