1 Jesus returned from the Jordan River full of the Holy Spirit, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness.
2 There he was tempted for forty days by the devil. He ate nothing during those days and afterward Jesus was starving.
3 The devil said to him, "Since you are God’s Son, command this stone to become a loaf of bread."
4 Jesus replied, "It’s written, People won’t live only by bread."
5 Next the devil led him to a high place and showed him in a single instant all the kingdoms of the world.
6 The devil said, "I will give you this whole domain and the glory of all these kingdoms. It’s been entrusted to me and I can give it to anyone I want.
