4 Then Yeshua, full of the holy spirit, returned from the Yordan region and was led into the wilderness by the spirit 2 where he was tested by the devil for forty days. He didn’t eat anything during that time, and was hungry at the end.

3 So the devil told him, “If you’re God’s son, just turn this stone into bread.”

4 [ref]“It’s been written,” Yeshua replied, “that people don’t live just on food.”

5 Then the devil brought him up to a high point and in just a moment of time, showed him the vista of all the kingdoms of the world, 6 and he said, “I’ll give you this entire domain and the status of these kingdoms because it’s been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want, 7 so just bow down in front of me and it’ll all be yours.”

8 [ref]“It’s been written,” Yeshua answered, “that we should only bow down to Yahweh our God and only serve him.”

9 Then the devil led him to Yerushalem and they stood on the highest part of the temple, where he told him, “If you’re God’s son, throw yourself down from here, 10 [ref]because it’s written that God will command his messengers to guard you 11 and they will carry you in their hands, so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.”

12 [ref]“It’s been written,” Yeshua responded, “that we shouldn’t test Yahweh our God.”

13 So after completing every temptation, the devil withdrew from him for a time.
