Luke 4:1-13

Revised Geneva Translation

4 And Jesus, full of the Holy Ghost, returned from Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,

² and was tempted forty days by the devil. And in those days, He ate nothing. But after they had ended, He was hungry.

³ Then the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone, that it be made bread.”

⁴ But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread only, but by every word of God.’”

⁵ Then the devil took Him up into a high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, in the twinkling of an eye.

⁶ And the devil said to Him, “All this power, and the glory of those kingdoms, will I give You. For that is delivered to me. And to whomever I will, I give it.

⁷ “Therefore, if You will worship me, they shall be all Yours.”

⁸ But Jesus answered him, and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him alone You shall serve.’”

⁹ Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, and set Him on a pinnacle of the Temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down from here.

¹⁰ “For it is written, “He will give His angels charge over you, to keep you.

¹¹ “And with their hands they shall lift you up, lest at any time you should dash your foot against a stone.”

¹² And Jesus answered, and said to him, “It is said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”

¹³ And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from Him for a little season.
