Matthew 4:3-11
4:3 The tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become bread.”
4:4 But he answered,
“It is written, ‘
Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
4:5 Then the devil took him to the holy city,
had him stand
on the highest point
of the temple,
4:6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down. For it is written, ‘
He will command his angels concerning you’
and ‘
with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”
4:7 Jesus said to him, “Once again it is written: ‘
You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’”
4:8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur.
4:9 And he said to him, “I will give you all these things if you throw yourself to the ground and worship
me.”
4:10 Then Jesus said to him, “Go away,
Satan! For it is written: ‘
You are to worship the Lord your God and serve only
him.’”
4:11 Then the devil left him, and angels
came and began ministering to his needs.
Luke 4:2-13
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.

4:27 Do not give the devil an opportunity.
Ephesians 6:11-12
6:11 Clothe yourselves with the full armor of God so that you may be able to stand against the schemes
of the devil.
6:12 For our struggle
is not against flesh and blood,
but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world rulers of this darkness,
against the spiritual forces
of evil in the heavens.

consists in
all goodness, righteousness, and truth –
Revelation 12:9-11
12:9 So
that huge dragon – the ancient serpent, the one called the devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world – was thrown down to the earth, and his angels along with him.
12:10 Then
I heard a loud voice in heaven saying,
“The salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the ruling authority of his Christ, have now come,
because the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
the one who accuses them day and night before our God,
has been thrown down.
12:11 But they overcame him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony,
and they did not love their lives so much that they were afraid to die.
