The temptations of Jesus
See them side by side
Luke 4:1-13
1And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and he was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he did not eat anything in those days, and when they were completed, he was hungry. 3And the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.” 4And Jesus answered him, “It is written: A human being will not live on bread alone.” 5And leading him up, he showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited world in a moment of time. 6And the devil said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been handed over to me, and to whomever I wish I give it. 7So if you bow down before me, it will be all yours.” 8And answering, Jesus said to him, “It is written: Before the Lord your God you will bow down, and him alone you will serve.” 9And he brought him to Jerusalem and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here; 10for it is written: He will command his angels concerning you, to guard you, 11and: On their hands they will carry you, so that you do not strike your foot against a stone.” 12And answering, Jesus said to him, “It is said: You will not put the Lord your God to the test.” 13And when the devil had finished every temptation, he departed from him until an opportune time.
1Then Jesus was led up into the wilderness by the Spirit to be tested by the devil. 2And after fasting forty days and forty nights, afterward he was hungry. 3And the one testing him came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4But he answered and said, “It is written, ‘A person will not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out through the mouth of God.’” 5Then the devil takes him into the holy city and stood him on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and says to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you,’ and ‘On their hands they will lift you up, so that you do not strike your foot against a stone.’” 7Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord your God.’” 8Again the devil takes him to a very high mountain and shows him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory, 9and he said to him, “All these things I will give you, if you fall down and bow down before me.” 10Then Jesus says to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall bow down before the Lord your God, and him alone you shall serve.’” 11Then the devil leaves him, and look, angels came and were serving him.
12And at once the Spirit drives him out into the wilderness. 13And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tested by Satan; and he was with the wild animals, and the angels were serving him.

How does Jesus answer the devil each time he is tempted in the wilderness? (vv. 3-13)

Jesus came to bring good news to the poor and freedom to the oppressed. Who near you could you bring some of that to?
