HOW TO SAY "NO" WHEN YOU WANT TO SAY "YES"
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. 2
After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 The tempter came to
him and said, "If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread." 4
Jesus answered, "It is written: `Man does not live on bread alone, but on every
word that comes from the mouth of God.'" 5 Then the devil took him to the holy
city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. 6 "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.'" 7 Jesus
answered him, "It is also written: `Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"
8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the
kingdoms of the world and their splendor.
9 "All this I will give you," he said, "if you will bow down and worship me." 10
Jesus said to him, "Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ` the Lord your God,
and serve him only.'" 11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended
him.
