 The
Temptation of Jesus
Then
Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the
devil. And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was
hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God,
command these stones to become loaves of bread." But he answered, "It is
written, `Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God.'" Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set
him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of
God, throw yourself down; for it is written, `He will give his angels charge
of you,' and `On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your
foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, `You shall
not tempt the Lord your God.'" Again, the devil took him to a very high
mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of
them; and he said to him, "All these I will give you, if you will fall down
and worship me." Then Jesus said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written,
`You shall worship the Lord your God and him only shall you serve.'" Then
the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
Matthew 4:1-11
The Baptism of Jesus
In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John
in the Jordan. And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the
heavens opened and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove; and a voice
came from heaven, "Thou art my beloved Son; with thee I am well pleased."
The Temptation of Jesus
The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the
wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan; and he was with the wild beasts;
and the angels ministered to him.
Mark 1:9-13
The Temptation of Jesus
And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by
the Spirit for forty days in the wilderness, tempted by the devil. And he
ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, he was hungry. The
devil said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become
bread." And Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread
alone.'" And the devil took him up, and showed him all the kingdoms of the
world in a moment of time, and said to him, "To you I will give all this
authority and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to
whom I will. If you, then, will worship me, it shall all be yours." And
Jesus answered him, "It is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God,
and him only shall you serve.'" And he took him to Jerusalem, and set him on
the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, "If you are the Son of God,
throw yourself down from here; for it is written, 'He will give his angels
charge of you, to guard you,' and 'On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.'" And Jesus answered him, "It is
said, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'" And when the devil had ended
every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.
