… all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. All this I will give you, he said, if you will bow down and worship me.

… Chapter 4, verses 1 through 11. At that time Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, and afterwards he was hungry.

Jesus said to him, "'Away from me, Satan, for it is written, Worship the Lord your God and serve him only. Verse 8 and 9 is where a lot of us have been living lately, where the Devil has been talking to us and taking us places in our minds. Verse 11 is where we want to get today by the time I'm done preaching. Verse 11 says, "'Then the Devil left him, and angels came and attended him.'"
