2.0 Tempted by Satan

Matthew 4:1-11 (KJV)

^1  Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.

^2  And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.

^3  And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.

^4  But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

^5  Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

^6  And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

^7  Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

^8  Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;

^9  And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.

^10  Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

^11  Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
