OT Reading: Genesis 2:15 17, 3:1 7
Genesis 2:15 17, 3:1 7 15 Then the Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and guard it. 16 He told him, You may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden, 17 except the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. You must not eat the fruit of that tree; if you do, you will die the same day.
Genesis 2:15 17, 3:1 7 3:1 Now the snake was the most cunning animal that the Lord God had made. The snake asked the woman, Did God really tell you not to eat fruit from any tree in the garden? 2 We may eat the fruit of any tree in the garden, the woman answered, 3 except the tree in the middle of it. God told us not to eat the fruit of that tree or even touch it; if we do, we will die.
Genesis 2:15 17, 3:1 7 4 The snake replied, That's not true; you will not die. 5 God said that because he knows that when you eat it, you will be like God[h] and know what is good and what is bad. [i] 6 The woman saw - how beautiful the tree was and - how good its fruit would be to eat, and - she thought how wonderful it would be to become wise.
Genesis 2:15 17, 3:1 7 So she took some of the fruit and ate it. Then she gave some to her husband, and he also ate it. 7 As soon as they had eaten it, they were given understanding and realized that they were naked; so they sewed fig leaves together and covered themselves.
Gospel reading Matthew 4:1 11
Matthew 4:1 11 1 Then the Spirit led Jesus into the desert to be tempted by the Devil. 2 After spending forty days and nights without food, Jesus was hungry. 3 Then the Devil came to him and said, If you are God's Son, order these stones to turn into bread. 4 But Jesus answered, The scripture says, Human beings cannot live on bread alone, but need every word that God speaks.
Matthew 4:1 11 5 Then the Devil took Jesus to Jerusalem, the Holy City, set him on the highest point of the Temple, 6 and said to him, If you are God's Son, throw yourself down, for the scripture says, God will give orders to his angels about you; they will hold you up with their hands, so that not even your feet will be hurt on the stones.
Matthew 4:1 11 7 Jesus answered, But the scripture also says, Do not put the Lord your God to the test. 8 Then the Devil took Jesus to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world in all their greatness. 9 All this I will give you, the Devil said, if you kneel down and worship me.
Matthew 4:1 11 10 Then Jesus answered, Go away, Satan! The scripture says, Worship the Lord your God and serve only him! 11 Then the Devil left Jesus; and angels came and helped him.
