Jesus Wins Over Temptation

Name Date

Read the Story

The Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness. Jesus fasted for forty days and was hungry. The devil came to tempt Him. He said, "If you are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread."

Jesus answered with Scripture. People do not live by bread only. They live by every word from God. The devil tempted Him two more times, even offering Him all the kingdoms of the world. Each time Jesus answered with God's Word and said no. Then the devil left, and angels came and served Jesus.

Jesus began to preach, "Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand." He called fishermen to follow Him, and they left everything. Jesus went all over Galilee. He taught and preached the good news. He healed every kind of sickness.

Memory Verse
