“Get out of here, Satan,”

Jesus told him.

“For the Scriptures say,

‘You must worship the LORD your God

and serve only him.’”

Then the devil went away,

and angels came and took care of Jesus.

Matthew 4:10-11

But Jesus told him,

“No! 

The Scriptures say,

‘People do not live by bread alone,

but by every word that comes

from the mouth of God.’”

Matthew 4:4

…ancestors of Jesus the Messiah…

Perez and Zerah (whose mother was Tamar)…

Boaz (whose mother was Rahab)…

Obed (whose mother was Ruth)…

King David…

Solomon (whose mother was Bathsheba, 

the widow of Uriah)…

Jacob was the father of Joseph,

the husband of Mary.

Mary gave birth to Jesus,

who is called the Messiah. 

Matthew 1:1, 3, 5-6, 16

The LORD of Heaven’s Armies says,

“The day of judgment is coming,

burning like a furnace.

On that day the arrogant and the wicked 

will be burned up like straw.

They will be consumed—roots, branches, and all.

But for you who fear my name,

the Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in his wings.

And you will go free,

leaping with joy like calves let out to pasture.

Malachi 4:1-2

Then those who feared the LORD spoke with each other,

and the LORD listened to what they said.

In his presence,

a scroll of remembrance was written

to record the names of those who feared him

and always thought about the honor of his name.

“They will be my people,”

says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

On the day when I act in judgment,

they will be my own special treasure.

I will spare them as a father spares an obedient child.

Malachi 3:16-17

“I am the LORD,

and I do not change…

Now return to me,

and I will return to you,”

says the LORD of Heaven’s Armies.

Malachi 3:6-7
