The Temptation of Jesus
As told in Luke Chapter 4
Jesus was led by the holy spirit to go
fast in the desert for forty days.
He knew he would be tempted in three
ways, but with the help of God stayed
strong.
1. Pride
The first temptation was to test Jesus’
pride. The Devil went to Jesus and
said “If you are the Son of God,
command this stone to become
bread.”
Jesus Replied: “It is written ‘one does
not live by bread alone.’ “
2. Power
The second temptation of Jesus was
Power. The Devil said to him, “I shall
give you all this power and their
glory; for it has been handed to me
and I may give it to whoever I wish.”
Jesus replied, “It is written ‘You shall
worship the Lord your God, and him
alone shall you serve.’ “
3. Life
The third temptation questions Jesus’ ability
to live through anything. The Devil said to
Jesus, “If you are the son of God, throw
yourself down from here, for it is written:
‘He will command his angels concerning
you to guard you, and with their hands
they will support you less you dash your
foot against a stone.’ “
Jesus replied, “It also says, ‘You shall not
put the Lord, your God, to the test.’ “
The Last Day
After tempting Jesus through the forty
days he was in the desert fasting,
and Jesus not once fell for the
temptation, he departed for a time.
