4 [ref]Then Yeshua was taken by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 As he’d been fasting for forty days (and nights), he was getting 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 [ref]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 message.”

5 Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, and stood him on the highest point of the temple 6 [ref]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.”

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

8 Then the devil took him to a very high mountains and showed him all the countries of the world with all their splendour, 9 then told him, “I’ll give all of these to you if you get down and prostrate yourself to me.”

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

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