Matthew 3:17-4:11

New King James Version

^17 (A)And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, ^(B)“This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

Satan Tempts Jesus^(C)

4 Then ^(D)Jesus was led up by ^(E)the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. ² And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. ³ Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.”

⁴ But He answered and said, “It is written, ^(F)‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

⁵ Then the devil took Him up ^(G)into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

and,

⁷ Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ^(J)‘You shall not ^[a]tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

⁸ Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and ^(K)showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. ⁹ And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

¹⁰ Then Jesus said to him, ^[b]“Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ^(L)‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

¹¹ Then the devil ^(M)left Him, and behold, ^(N)angels came and ministered to Him.
