After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread."
Jesus answered, "It is written: `Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."
Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. "If you are the Son of God," he said "throw yourself down. For it is written:
He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."
Jesus answered him, "It is also written: `Do not put the Lord your God to the test."
Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendour. "All this I will give you, " \he said, "If you will bow down and worship me."
Jesus said to him, "Away from me Satan! For it is written: `Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only."
Jesus is the Son of God but he also tempts by Satan. In our present life, Satan is negative people, negative circumstances. He always tempts us tested us by negative people and by negative circumstances like Jesus we only trust on God and in our self. Whatever the circumstances you face it is coming for pass out nothing is permanent good or bad everything is pass out. Like Jesus, we have to persevere our self.
