One day, divine beings presented themselves to the LORD, and Satan accompanied them.

The LORD asked Satan, "Where have you come from?" In response, Satan answered the LORD, "From wandering all over the earth and walking back and forth throughout it."

Then the LORD asked Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth. The man is blameless as well as upright. He fears God and keeps away from evil."

But in response, Satan asked the LORD, "Does Job fear God for nothing?

Then the LORD told Satan, "Very well then, everything he owns is under your control, only you may not extend your hand against him." So Satan left the LORD's presence.

Some time later, divine beings again presented themselves to the LORD, and Satan accompanied them to present himself to the LORD.

The LORD asked Satan, "Where have you come from?" In response, Satan told the LORD, "From wandering all over the earth and walking back and forth throughout it."

The LORD asked Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one like him on earth. The man is blameless as well as upright. He fears God and keeps away from evil. He remains firm in his integrity, even though you have been urging me to overwhelm him without cause."

Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! The man will give up everything that he owns in exchange for his health.

He was in the wilderness for 40 days being tempted by Satan. He was among wild animals, and angels were ministering to him.

So Jesus called them together and began to speak to them in parables. "How can Satan drive out Satan?

Some people are like the seeds along the path, where the word is sown. When they hear it, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that was sown in them.

Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him. But turning and looking at his disciples, Jesus rebuked Peter, saying, "Get behind me, Satan, because you're not thinking God's thoughts, but human thoughts!"

He told them, "I watched Satan falling from heaven like lightning.

Now, if Satan is divided against himself, how can his kingdom last? After all, you say that I drive out demons by Beelzebul.

And no wonder, since Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light.

To keep me from becoming conceited because of the exceptional nature of these revelations, a thorn was given to me and placed in my body. It was Satan's messenger to keep on tormenting me so that I would not become conceited.

That is why we wanted to come to you. Certainly I, Paul, wanted to come time and again, but Satan blocked our way.
