1 Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the devil.
2 Jesus did not eat anything for 40 days and 40 nights. At the end of that time, he was hungry.
3 The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
4 Jesus answered, “Scripture says, ‘A person cannot live on bread alone but on every word that God speaks.’ ”
5 Then the devil took him into the holy city and had him stand on the highest part of the temple.
