4 Then Yeshua (Jesus; Grk. Yesus) was taken into the wilderness by the spirit, to be tempted by the devil.[ref] 2 As he’d been fasting for forty days (and nights), he was hungry, 3 and the tempter approached him and asked, “If you’re God’s son, command some of these stones to turn into buns.”

4 But Yeshua answered, “It’s written in the scriptures that it’s not just food that a person needs to live, but also all of God’s messages.”[ref]

5 Then the devil took him to Yerushalem (Jerusalem), and stood him on the highest point of the temple 6 and told him, “Throw yourself down if you’re God’s son, because it’s written in the scriptures that God will command his messengers to look after you and to carry you in their arms so that you won’t bash your foot on a rock.”[ref]

7 “Yes, but it’s also written,” Yeshua answered, “that you shouldn’t test your God Yahweh.”[ref]

8 Then the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the countries in the world, with all their splendour, 9 then told him, “I’ll give you all of those if you get down on your face in front of me.”

10 “Go away, Satan,” Yeshua replied, “because it’s written in the scriptures that you should worship your God Yahweh and must only serve him.”[ref]

11 Then the devil left him, and God’s messengers came and looked after him.
