Matthew 4:1-11 NIrV

Matthew 4:1-11 NIrV [1] The Holy Spirit led Jesus into the desert. There the devil tempted him. [2] After 40 days and 40 nights of going without eating, Jesus was hungry. [3] The tempter came to him. He said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” [4] Jesus answered, “It is written, ‘Man must not live only on bread. He must also live on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 8:3) [5] Then the devil took Jesus to the holy city. He had him stand on the highest point of the temple. [6] “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. It is written, “ ‘The Lord will command his angels to take good care of you. They will lift you up in their hands. Then you won’t trip over a stone.’ ” (Psalm 91:11,12) [7] Jesus answered him, “It is also written, ‘Do not test the Lord your God.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:16) [8] Finally, the devil took Jesus to a very high mountain. He showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. [9] “If you bow down and worship me,” he said, “I will give you all this.” [10] Jesus said to him, “Get away from me, Satan! It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God. He is the only one you should serve.’ ” (Deuteronomy 6:13) [11] Then the devil left Jesus. Angels came and took care of him.
