Bible Verses About The Christ Jesus: Temptation of Jesus

Then the Spirit led Yeshua up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Adversary.

After Yeshua had fasted forty days and nights, he was hungry.

The Tempter came and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, order these stones to become bread."

But he answered, "The Tanakh says, `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of ADONAI'"

Then the Adversary took him to the holy city and set him on the highest point of the Temple.

"If you are the Son of God," he said, "jump! For the Tanakh says, `He will order his angels to be responsible for you. . . . They will support you with their hands, so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.'"

Yeshua replied to him, "But it also says, `Do not put ADONAI your God to the test.'"h

Once more, the Adversary took him up to the summit of a very high mountain, showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their glory,

and said to him, "All this I will give you if you will bow down and worship me."

"Away with you, Satan!" Yeshua told him, "For the Tanakh says, `Worship ADONAI your God, and serve only him.'"

Then the Adversary let him alone, and angels came and took care of him.

Immediately the Spirit drove him out into the wilderness,

and he was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by the Adversary. He was with the wild animals, and the angels took care of him.

Then Yeshua, filled with the Ruach HaKodesh, returned from the Yarden and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness

for forty days of testing by the Adversary. During that time he ate nothing, and afterwards he was hungry.

The Adversary said to him, "If you are the Son of God, order this stone to become bread."

Yeshua answered him, "The Tanakh says, `Man does not live on bread alone.'"

The Adversary took him up, showed him in an instant all the kingdoms of the world,

and said to him, "I will give you all this power and glory. It has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I choose.

So if you will worship me, it will all be yours."

Yeshua answered him, "The Tanakh says, `Worship ADONAI your God and serve him only.'"

Then he took him to Yerushalayim, set him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, jump from here!

For the Tanakh says, `He will order his angels to be responsible for you and to protect you.

They will support you with their hands, so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.'"

Yeshua answered him, "It also says, `Do not put ADONAI your God to the test.'"
