Luke 4:1-13

English Standard Version

The Temptation of Jesus

4 ^(A)And Jesus, ^(B)full of the Holy Spirit, ^(C)returned from the Jordan and was led ^(D)by the Spirit in the wilderness ²for ^(E)forty days, ^(F)being tempted by the devil. ^(G)And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, ^(H)he was hungry. ³The devil said to him, “If you are ^(I)the Son of God, command ^(J)this stone to become bread.” ⁴And Jesus answered him, ^(K)“It is written, ^(L)‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” ⁵^(M)And the devil took him up and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, ⁶and said to him, “To you ^(N)I will give all this authority and their glory, ^(O)for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will. ⁷If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” ⁸And Jesus answered him, ^(P)“It is written,

^(Q)“‘You shall worship the Lord your God,
and ^(R)him only shall you serve.’”

⁹^(S)And he took him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple and said to him, “If you are ^(T)the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, ¹⁰for it is written,

^(U)“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
to guard you,’

¹¹and

^(V)“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

¹²And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ^(W)‘You shall not ^(X)put the Lord your God to the test.’” ¹³And when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from him ^(Y)until an opportune time.

Psalm 91:9-16

English Standard Version

⁹Because you have made the Lord your ^(A)dwelling place—
the Most High, who is my ^(B)refuge^[a]—
¹⁰^(C)no evil shall be allowed to befall you,
^(D)no plague come near your tent.

¹¹^(E)For he will command his ^(F)angels concerning you
    to ^(G)guard you in all your ways.
¹²On their hands they will bear you up,
    lest you ^(H)strike your foot against a stone.

    the young lion and ^(K)the serpent you will ^(L)trample underfoot.

¹⁴“Because he ^(M)holds fast to me in love, I will deliver him;
    I will protect him, because he ^(N)knows my name.
¹⁵When he ^(O)calls to me, I will answer him;
    I will be with him in trouble;
    I will rescue him and ^(P)honor him.
¹⁶With ^(Q)long life I will satisfy him
    and ^(R)show him my salvation.”
