““The Devil Tempts Jesus The Spirit of God led Jesus into the wilderness. There he was tempted by the devil. When he was hungry, the devil came. “If you’re God’s Son, make these stones into bread.” “One doesn’t only live on bread. God’s words are food as well.” The devil took him to the temple roof. “The angels won’t let you get hurt,” he tempted. “So jump to the ground.” “It’s written, ‘Don’t put God to the test.’” “I’ll give you all of earth’s kingdoms; worship me!” commanded Satan. “Get away Satan! The Bible says, ‘Worship and serve only God.””
