Jesus' reply to the devil's first temptation of Him was _______

Explanation

The question is asking about Jesus' response to the first temptation from the devil. The options given are A, B, C, and D, and we are to choose the correct answer.

Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit after His baptism by John the Baptist. While in the wilderness, the devil tempted Him three times. The first temptation was when the devil asked Jesus to turn stones to bread. Jesus replied, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4). This is the correct answer and option B.

Jesus' response shows that there is more to life than just physical sustenance. He was reminding the devil and us that we need spiritual nourishment as well, which comes from God's Word.

The other options are not correct. Option A is close to the truth but is missing a crucial part. The full reply is, Then Jesus said to him, 'Away with you, Satan! For it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve' (Matthew 4:10). Option C is Jesus' response to the devil's second temptation, and Option D is Jesus' response to the third temptation.

In summary, Jesus' reply to the devil's first temptation was, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God. Option B is the correct answer.
