Luke 4:1-15.

Luke 4.1-15

"When Jesus returned from the Jordan River, the power of the Holy
Spirit was with him, and the Spirit led him into the desert. For
forty days Jesus was tested by the devil, and during that time he went
without eating. When it was all over, he was hungry.

The devil said to Jesus, "If you are God's Son, tell this stone to
turn into bread."

Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say, 'No one can live only on food.'"

Then the devil led Jesus up to a high place and quickly showed him all
the nations on earth. The devil said, "I will give all this power and
glory to you. It has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I
want to. Just worship me, and you can have it all."

Jesus answered, "The Scriptures say: 'Worship the Lord your God and
serve only him!'"

Finally, the devil took Jesus to Jerusalem and had him stand on top of
the temple. The devil said, "If you are God's Son, jump off. - The
Scriptures say: 'God will tell his angels to take care of you. They
will catch you in their arms, and you will not hurt your feet on the
stones.'"

Jesus answered, "The Scriptures also say, 'Don't try to test the Lord
your God!'"

After the devil had finished testing Jesus in every way possible, he
left him for a while.

Jesus Begins His Work

Jesus returned to Galilee with the power of the Spirit. News about him
spread everywhere. He taught in the Jewish meeting places, and
everyone praised him."

Father God, forgive my sins. Thank you for sending Jesus Christ down
to die on the cross and for shedding his blood for me. Three days
later you resurrected him. I accept that. I invite Jesus Christ into
my heart as my Lord and savior. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

God bless you.
