Jesus tested in the wilderness

Matthew 4: 1 - 17

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 After fasting forty 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 shall 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 ranges 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 "Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only"

11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Sermon on the Mount

Matthew 5: 1 - 12

1 Now when Jesus saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him,

2 And he began to teach them. He said:

3 Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

4 Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.

5 Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth.

6 Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.

7 Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.

8 Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God.

9 Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.

10 Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me.

12 Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for, in the same way, they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
