Deuteronomy 6:13-1613 You shall fear the LORD your

God and serve Him, and shall take

oaths in His name. 14 You shall not

go after other gods, the gods of

the peoples who are all around

you 15 (for the LORD your God is a

jealous God among you), lest the

anger of the LORD your God be

aroused against you and destroy

you from the face of the earth.16 “You shall not tempt the LORD

your God as you tempted Him in

Massah.

Matthew 4:1-11 Satan Tempts Jesus

4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And when He had fasted forty days and forty nights, afterward He was hungry.

• Temptation

• Job 1:6-12

• Isaiah 10:5,6

• Habakkuk 1:6-11

• James 1:13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am tempted by God”; for God

cannot be tempted by evil, nor does He Himself tempt anyone.

3 Now when the tempter came

to Him, he said, “If You are the

Son of God, command that

these stones become bread.”4 But He answered and said,

“It is written, ‘Man shall not

live by bread alone, but by

every word that proceeds from

the mouth of God.’”[Dueteronomy

8:3]

5 Then the devil took Him up into the

holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of

the temple, 6 and said to Him, “If You

are the Son of God, throw Yourself

down. For it is written:

‘He shall give His angels charge over

you,’

and,

‘In their hands they shall bear you up,

Lest you dash your foot against a

stone.’”[Psalm 91:11-12] 7 Jesus said to him,

“It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt

the LORD your God.’”[Dueteronomy 6:16]

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an

exceedingly high mountain, and

showed Him all the kingdoms of the

world and their glory. 9 And he said to

Him, “All these things I will give You

if You will fall down and worship me.”10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away

with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You

shall worship the LORD your God,

and Him only you shall

serve.’”[Deuteronomy 6:13]

11 Then the devil left Him, and

behold, angels came and ministered

to Him.

Ephesians 6:1212 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against

powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age,[a] against spiritual hosts of

wickedness in the heavenly places.

• Defensive Weapons13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the

evil day, and having done all, to stand.14 Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate

of righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of

peace; 16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all

the fiery darts of the wicked one.

• Offensive Weapon17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of

God;
