Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And he fasted forty days and forty nights, and afterward he was hungry. And the tempter came and said to him, \u201cIf you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.\u201d But he answered, \u201cIt is written,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the devil took him to the holy city, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to him, \u201cIf you are the Son of God, throw yourself down; for it is written,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018He will give his angels charge of you,\u2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n
and<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jesus said to him, \u201cAgain it is written, \u2018You shall not tempt the Lord your God.\u2019\u201d Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them; and he said to him, \u201cAll these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.\u201d Then Jesus said to him, \u201cBegone, Satan! for it is written,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and ministered to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
–Matthew 4:1-11<\/p>
Morning everyone I hope you are well. Although it's very wet and windy in the Lakes today ( I've already been out shooting, tomorrow's image), as usual, I'll start the week with a bit of calm and brightness. Morning light across Elterwater. Have a great day.#LakeDistrict<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/ubf0xlVDWQ<\/a><\/p>— Rod Hutchinson (@lakesrhino) September 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote>
