Jesus Is Tested in the Wilderness 1Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2where for forty days he was tempted
3The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
4Jesus answered,
7If you worship me, it will all be yours.”
8Jesus answered,
10For it is written: “ ‘He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;
11they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’
12Jesus answered,
13When the devil had finished all this tempting, he left him until an opportune time.
