Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil. And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He was afterwards an hungered. And when the tempter came to Him, he said, If You are the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But Jesus answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.

Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, and set Him on a pinnacle of the temple, And said unto Him, If You are the Son of God, cast Yourself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning You and in their hands, they shall bear You up, lest at any time You dash Your foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, you shall not tempt the Lord your God. Again, the devil took Him up into an exceeding high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them; And said unto Him, All these things will I give You if You will fall down and worship me. Then said Jesus unto him, Get you hence, satan: for it is written, you shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve. Then the devil left Him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto Jesus. Matthew 4 vs 1-11.
