Satan stood up against Israel and incited David to count the people of Israel.

One day the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them.

The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”

“From roaming through the earth,” Satan answered Him, “and walking around on it.”

Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil.”

Satan answered the Lord, “Does Job fear God for nothing?

“Very well,” the Lord told Satan, “everything he owns is in your power. However, you must not lay a hand on Job himself.” So Satan left the Lord’s presence.

One day the sons of God came again to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them to present himself before the Lord.

The Lord asked Satan, “Where have you come from?”

“From roaming through the earth,” Satan answered Him, “and walking around on it.”

Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered My servant Job? No one else on earth is like him, a man of perfect integrity, who fears God and turns away from evil. He still retains his integrity, even though you incited Me against him, to destroy him without just cause.”

“Skin for skin!” Satan answered the Lord. “A man will give up everything he owns in exchange for his life.

“Very well,” the Lord told Satan, “he is in your power; only spare his life.”

But He turned and told Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are an offense to Me because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s.”

He was in the wilderness 40 days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels began to serve Him.

So He summoned them and spoke to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan?

And if Satan rebels against himself and is divided, he cannot stand but is finished!

These are the ones along the path where the word is sown: when they hear, immediately Satan comes and takes away the word sown in them.

But turning around and looking at His disciples, He rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind Me, Satan, because you’re not thinking about God’s concerns, but man’s!”

He said to them, “I watched Satan fall from heaven like a lightning flash.

If Satan also is divided against himself, how will his kingdom stand? For you say I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

Satan has bound this woman, a daughter of Abraham, for 18 years—shouldn’t she be untied from this bondage on the Sabbath day?”

Then Satan entered Judas, called Iscariot, who was numbered among the Twelve.

“Simon, Simon, look out! Satan has asked to sift you like wheat.

After Judas ate the piece of bread, Satan entered him. Therefore Jesus told him, “What you’re doing, do quickly.”

Then Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the proceeds from the field?

I have done this so that we may not be taken advantage of by Satan. For we are not ignorant of his schemes.

And no wonder! For Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

especially because of the extraordinary revelations. Therefore, so that I would not exalt myself, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to torment me so I would not exalt myself.

So we wanted to come to you—even I, Paul, time and again—but Satan hindered us.

The coming of the lawless one is based on Satan’s working, with all kinds of false miracles, signs, and wonders,

Hymenaeus and Alexander are among them, and I have delivered them to Satan, so that they may be taught not to blaspheme.

For some have already turned away to follow Satan.

I know your affliction and poverty, yet you are rich. I know the slander of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

I know where you live—where Satan’s throne is! And you are holding on to My name and did not deny your faith in Me, even in the days of Antipas, My faithful witness who was killed among you, where Satan lives.
