Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness. (Luke 4:1) Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. (Mark 1:12) .to be tempted by the devil. (Matthew 4:1) And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him. (Mark 1:13) .being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. (Luke 4:2)
And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. (Matthew 4:2) Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” (Matthew 4:3) And the devil said to Him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” (Luke 4:3)
But He (Jesus Luke 4:4) answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.” (Matthew 4:4)
(Again Matthew 4:8) Then the devil, taking Him up on a (exceedingly Matthew 4:8) high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world (and their glory Matthew 4:8) in a moment of time. And the devil said to Him, “All this authority (all these things Matthew 4:9) I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. Therefore, if You will (fall down and Matthew 4:9) worship before me, all will be Yours.”
And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan! (Away with you Satan Matthew 4:10) For it is written, ‘You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'” (Luke 4:5-8)
Then the devil took Him up into the holy city (Jerusalem Luke 4:9), set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down (from here Luke 4:9). For it is written: He shall give His angels charge over you (to keep You Luke 4:10), and In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. (And Jesus answered and said to him Luke 4:12) . “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'”(Matthew 4:5-7)
Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time. (Luke 4:13) Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. (Matthew 4:11) write me at: [email protected]
