Matthew 4:9 (original) (raw)

Matthew 4:9 is the ninth verse of the fourth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament. It is part of the Temptation of Christ narrative. Jesus has rebuffed two earlier temptations by Satan. The devil has thus transported Jesus to the top of a great mountain and shown him all the kingdoms of the world. In this verse, Satan offers control of the world to Jesus if he agrees to worship him.
