Matthew 4:3-11
New American Standard Bible 1995
3 And (A)the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the (B)Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘(C)Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.’”
5 Then the devil *took Him into (D)the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 6 and *said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written,
‘(E)He will command His angels concerning You’;
and
‘On their hands they will bear You up,
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him, “[a]On the other hand, it is written, ‘(F)You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
8 (G)Again, the devil *took Him to a very high mountain and *showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; 9 and he said to Him, “(H)All these things I will give You, if You fall down and [b]worship me.” 10 Then Jesus *said to him, “Go, Satan! For it is written, ‘(I)You shall worship the Lord your God, and [c]serve Him only.’” 11 Then the devil *left Him; and behold, (J)angels came and began to minister to Him.
