JESUS returned from the Jordan full of the Holy Spirit, and by the Spirit he was led on into the wilderness, where he remained forty days, tempted by the devil. During those days he ate nothing, and when they were over, he was hungry.
Then the devil said to him, If thou art the Son of God, bid this stone turn into a loaf of bread.
Jesus answered him, It is written, Man cannot live by bread only; there is life for him in all the words that come from God.
And the devil led him up on to a high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time;
I will give thee command, the devil said to him, over all these, and the glory that belongs to them; they have been made over to me, and I may give them to whomsoever I please; come then, all shall be thine, if thou wilt fall down before me and worship.
Jesus answered him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God; to him only shalt thou do service.
Luke 4:1-8 (Knox Bible)
