Luke 4:1
Then Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness,
2 where for forty days He was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and when they had ended, He was hungry.
3 The devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread.”
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
