The Enemy's Devices
Matthew 4:1-11
Skip Heitzig
Matthew 4 (NKJV™) | |
1 | Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. |
2 | And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry. |
3 | Now when the tempter came to Him, he said, "If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." |
4 | But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.'" |
5 | Then the devil took Him up into the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, |
6 | and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written: 'He shall give His angels charge over you,' and, 'In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.'" |
7 | Jesus said to him, "It is written again, 'You shall not tempt the LORD your God.'" |
8 | Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. |
9 | And he said to Him, "All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me." |
10 | Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him only you shall serve.'" |
11 | Then the devil left Him, and behold, angels came and ministered to Him. |
