SUNDAY - "KIDIST"

The Temptation of Jesus Mt 4:1-11

Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the Devil. After spending forty days and nights without food, Jesus was hungry. The Devil came to him and said, "If you are God's Son, order these stones to turn into bread."

Jesus answered, "The scripture says, 'Man cannot live on bread alone, but on every word that God speaks.' "

Then the Devil took Jesus to the Holy City, set him on the highest point of the temple, and said to him,"If you are God's Son, throw yourself down to the ground; because the scripture says,

'God will give orders to his angels about you; they will hold you up with their hands so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.' "

Jesus answered, "But the scripture also says, 'You must not put the Lord your God to the test.' "

Then the Devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdom of the world, in all their greatness. "All this I will give you," the Devil. said, "if you kneel down and worship me."

Then Jesus answered, "Go away, Satan! The scripture says, 'Worship the Lord your God and serve only him!' "

Then the Devil left him; and angels came and helped Jesus.
