Satan Tempts Jesus^(A)

4 Then ^(B)Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and ^(C)was led by the Spirit ^[a]into the wilderness, ² being ^[b]tempted for forty days by the devil. And ^(D)in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.

³ And the devil said to Him, “If You are ^(E)the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”

⁴ But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ^(F)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, ^[c]but by every word of God.’ ”

^5 [d]Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. ⁶ And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for ^(G)this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. ⁷ Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

⁸ And Jesus answered and said to him, ^[e]“Get behind Me, Satan! ^[f]For it is written, ^(H)‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

¹⁰ And he carried me away ^(A)in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me ^(B)the ^[a]great city, the ^[b]holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God,

³¹ Now is the judgment of this world; now ^(A)the ruler of this world will be cast out.

³⁰ I will no longer talk much with you, ^(A)for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has ^(B)nothing in Me.

¹⁶ Then ^(A)Thomas, who is called the Twin, said to his fellow disciples, “Let us also go, that we may die with Him.”

³⁸ For I have come down from heaven, ^(A)not to do My own will, ^(B)but the will of Him who sent Me. ³⁹ This is the will of the Father who sent Me, ^(C)that of all He has given Me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up at the last day. ⁴⁰ And this is the will of Him who sent Me, ^(D)that everyone who sees the Son and believes in Him may have everlasting life; and I will raise him up at the last day.”

^2 (A)in which you once walked according to the ^[a]course of this world, according to ^(B)the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in ^(C)the sons of disobedience,

⁴ whose minds ^(A)the god of this age ^(B)has blinded, who do not believe, lest ^(C)the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, ^(D)who is the image of God, should shine on them.

²¹ For ^(A)He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become ^(B)the righteousness of God in Him.
