Genesis 3:8-13 and Matthew 4:1-11 (NIV)


Genesis 3:8-13
8   Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden.
9    But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”
10  He answered, “I heard you in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid.”
11  And he said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”
12  The man said, “The woman you put here with me—she gave me some fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”
13  Then the LORD God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?”
   The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”

Matthew 4:1-11

1   Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness 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 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 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: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’
11  Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
