Matthew 4:7

He humbled you, allowed you to be hungry, and fed you with manna, which you didn’t know, neither did your fathers know, that he might teach you that man does not live by bread only, but man lives by every word that proceeds out of Yahweh’s mouth.

Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”

The stone which the builders rejected has become the cornerstone.

For the word of God is living and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and is able to discern the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

You shall not tempt Yahweh your God, as you tempted him in Massah.

For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that through perseverance and through encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope.

It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.

Samuel spoke to all the house of Israel, saying, “If you are returning to Yahweh with all your heart, then put away the foreign gods and the Ashtaroth from among you, and direct your hearts to Yahweh, and serve him only; and he will deliver you out of the hand of the Philistines.”

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says, “Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious cornerstone of a sure foundation. He who believes shall not act hastily.

He put on righteousness as a breastplate, and a helmet of salvation on his head. He put on garments of vengeance for clothing, and was clad with zeal as a mantle.

He is ‘the stone which was regarded as worthless by you, the builders, which has become the head of the corner.’

The children of Israel ate the manna forty years, until they came to an inhabited land. They ate the manna until they came to the borders of the land of Canaan.

From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength, because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.

Stand firm therefore in the liberty by which Christ has made us free, and don’t be entangled again with a yoke of bondage.

But since we belong to the day, let’s be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.

You called in trouble, and I delivered you. I answered you in the secret place of thunder. I tested you at the waters of Meribah.”

But he turned, and said to Peter, “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of men.”

Moses said, “Now Yahweh will give you meat to eat in the evening, and in the morning bread to satisfy you, because Yahweh hears your murmurings which you murmur against him. And who are we? Your murmurings are not against us, but against Yahweh.”

When the children of Israel saw it, they said to one another, “What is it?” For they didn’t know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread which Yahweh has given you to eat.

“You shall have no other gods before me.

You shall observe the feast of unleavened bread. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, as I commanded you, at the time appointed in the month Abib (for in it you came out of Egypt), and no one shall appear before me empty.

You shall serve Yahweh your God, and he will bless your bread and your water, and I will take sickness away from among you.

These are the waters of Meribah; because the children of Israel strove with Yahweh, and he was sanctified in them.

The entrance of your words gives light. It gives understanding to the simple.

He has made my mouth like a sharp sword. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand. He has made me a polished shaft. He has kept me close in his quiver.

Give us today our daily bread.

Jesus answered him, “Get behind me Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and you shall serve him only.’ ”

But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and to keep back part of the price of the land?

Let’s not test Christ, as some of them tested, and perished by the serpents.

Out of his mouth proceeds a sharp, double-edged sword, that with it he should strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod. He treads the wine press of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty.

Pay attention to him, and listen to his voice. Don’t provoke him, for he will not pardon your disobedience, for my name is in him.

The people quarreled with Moses, and spoke, saying, “We wish that we had died when our brothers died before Yahweh!

You shall fear Yahweh your God; and you shall serve him, and shall swear by his name.

At Taberah, at Massah, and at Kibroth Hattaavah you provoked Yahweh to wrath.

They tempted God in their heart by asking food according to their desire.

They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of the sky.

But Ahaz said, “I won’t ask. I won’t tempt Yahweh.”

Yahweh says, “Stand in the ways and see, and ask for the old paths, ‘Where is the good way?’ and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls. But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.’

This man led them out, having worked wonders and signs in Egypt, in the Red Sea, and in the wilderness for forty years.

even as it is written, “Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and a rock of offense; and no one who believes in him will be disappointed.”

He had seven stars in his right hand. Out of his mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining at its brightest.

They overcame him because of the Lamb’s blood, and because of the word of their testimony. They didn’t love their life, even to death.

The mixed multitude that was among them lusted exceedingly; and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, “Who will give us meat to eat?

You shall fear Yahweh your God. You shall serve him. You shall cling to him, and you shall swear by his name.

where your fathers tested me and tried me, and saw my deeds for forty years.

Therefore the people quarreled with Moses, and said, “Give us water to drink.” Moses said to them, “Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test Yahweh?”

He called the name of the place Massah, and Meribah, because the children of Israel quarreled, and because they tested Yahweh, saying, “Is Yahweh among us, or not?”

because all those men who have seen my glory, and my signs, which I worked in Egypt and in the wilderness, yet have tempted me these ten times, and have not listened to my voice;

Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, and didn’t keep his testimonies,

when your fathers tempted me, tested me, and saw my work.

but gave in to craving in the desert, and tested God in the wasteland.

Now we call the proud happy; yes, those who work wickedness are built up; yes, they tempt God, and escape.’

But he answered, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of God’s mouth.’ ”

But Peter asked her, “How is it that you have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? Behold, the feet of those who have buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out.”

Now therefore why do you tempt God, that you should put a yoke on the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear?

As for the deeds of men, by the word of your lips, I have kept myself from the ways of the violent.

Turn to the law and to the covenant! If they don’t speak according to this word, surely there is no morning for them.

Jesus said to them, “Did you never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone which the builders rejected was made the head of the corner. This was from the Lord. It is marvelous in our eyes?’
