Luke 4:1-15 (Gospel)
- 1
- Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
- 2
- being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
- 3
- And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
- 4
- But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’”
- 5
- Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
- 6
- And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
- 7
- Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
- 8
- And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.’”
- 9
- Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.
- 10
- For it is written: ‘He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you,’
- 11
- and, ‘In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”
- 12
- And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.’”
- 13
- Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.
- 14
- Then Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit to Galilee, and news of Him went out through all the surrounding region.
- 15
- And He taught in their synagogues, being glorified by all.
