Luke 4:2

First Nations Version

There, for forty days, he would be put to the test by Accuser (Satan), the evil trickster snake. In the story of creation, the first man and woman lived in a Garden of Beauty and Harmony. The evil trickster snake came to them and twisted the words of the Great Spirit to deceive them. They listened to the snake, lost the life of beauty and harmony, and fell under the curse of death—both physical and spiritual. This snake is an evil spirit, sometimes called Accuser (Satan), who opposes the good things Creator wants for all two-leggeds. For forty days and nights Creator Sets Free (Jesus) ate nothing. His body became weak, and his hunger grew strong. When the evil trickster snake saw that Creator Sets Free (Jesus) was weak and hungry, he came to him and whispered in his ear.
