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 doesn't live only on bread. He also lives 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.
