Context
The Temptation of Jesus
4:1 Then Jesus , full of the Holy Spirit , returned from the Jordan River and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness ,
4:2 where for forty days he endured temptations from the devil . He ate nothing during those days , and when they were completed , he was famished .
4:3 The devil said to him , “If you are the Son of God , command this stone to become bread .”
4:4 Jesus answered him , “It is written , ‘Man does not live by bread alone .’”
4:5 Then the devil led him up to a high place and showed him in a flash all the kingdoms of the world .
4:6 And he said to him , “To you I will grant this whole realm – and the glory that goes along with it, for it has been relinquished to me , and I can give it to anyone I wish .
4:7 So then, if you will worship me , all this will be yours .”
4:8 Jesus answered him , “It is written , ‘You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only him .’”
4:9 Then the devil brought him to Jerusalem , had him stand on the highest point of the temple , and said to him , “If you are the Son of God , throw yourself down from here ,
4:10 for it is written , ‘He will command his angels concerning you , to protect you ,’
4:11 and ‘with their hands they will lift you up , so that you will not strike your foot against a stone .’”
4:12 Jesus answered him , “It is said , ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test .’”
4:13 So when the devil had completed every temptation , he departed from him until a more opportune time .
