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.
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 put the Lord your God to the test.' " (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 of this."
