Luke 4:1-13

AUV(i) 1 Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River [i.e., where He had been immersed. See 3:21] and was led by the Holy Spirit [See Matt. 4:1] into the desert. 2 During the forty days He was being put to the test by the devil, He did not eat anything; then after it was over He was [very] hungry. 3 Then the devil said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to turn into bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him, “It is written [Deut. 8:3], ‘A person is not to live by [eating] bread only.’” 5 Then he led Him up [i.e., to a high mountain. See Matt. 4:8] and showed Him all the world’s kingdoms in a fleeting instant. 6 And the devil said to Him, “I will give you full authority [over them] and their splendor, for it has [all] been granted to me and to whom I want to give it. 7 Therefore, if you will worship in front of me it will all be yours.” 8 And Jesus answered him, “It is written [Deut. 6:13], ‘You are supposed to worship the Lord, your God, and serve only Him.’” 9 Then the devil led Jesus to Jerusalem and placed Him on the elevated wing of the Temple and said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written [Psa. 91:11-12], ‘He will put his angels in charge of you, to protect you,’ 11 and ‘They will lift you up with their hands so you do not trip over a stone.’” 12 And Jesus answered him, “It is said [Deut. 6:16], ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” 13 And when the devil had finished every test, he left Jesus until a [later] time.
