Jesus was led up by the spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.
2 And after he had fasted for forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.
3 Now the tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."
4 But he answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" [To have life in God, all men must hear God speak to them and live by his words, which are spirit and impart life. John 6:63.]
5 Then the devil took him up into the holy city, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6 And said to him, "If you are the Son of God, cast yourself down. For it is written, 'He shall give his angels charge over you; and they shall bear you up in their hands, lest at any time you dash your foot against a stone.'"
7 Jesus answered him, "It is also written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your God.'"
8 Again, the devil took him up into an exceeding high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9 And said to him, "I will give you all these things, if you will fall down and worship me."
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Get away, Satan; for it is written, 'You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.'"
11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.
