Right after being baptized in the Jordan river, Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the desert, where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. During those days He was fasting: He neither ate nor drank anything, and at the end of those days He was hungry.
The devil came to him and told him,
Devil: Jesus, if you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread. You are hungry.
Jesus: It is written in God's Word, that man does not live on bread alone, but God's Word provides him with real life.
Devil: Do you mean that you want to live your life according to the Will of God? OK, we'll see, we'll see. Come closer to me. Here, see, Jesus, all the kingdoms of the world are before you. I will give you all their authority and splendor, for it has been given to me, and I can give it to anyone I want to. So, if you worship me, it will all be yours.
Jesus: Never. It is written in God's Word, "Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only."
Devil (sweetly): OK, let's act like God's Word says. Throw yourself down, for it is written: "He will command His angels concerning you to guard you carefully; they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."
Jesus:
Go away from me, satan. For it also says, "Do not put the Lord your God to the test."
Devil (angrily again): OK, you got me now. But this is not the end yet, I will be waiting for any opportunities to tempt you. Do you hear that, Jesus?
Jesus: Go away from me, satan.
And the devil left Jesus. And the angels came to Him and served Him.
