4But Jesus answered him, "It is written: Man must not live on bread alone."

5So he took Him up and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.

7If You, then, will worship me, all will be Yours."

10For it is written: "'He will command his angels concerning you to guard you carefully;

11and they will support you with their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."

11they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'"

12And Jesus answered him, "It is said: Do not test the Lord your God."

12Jesus answered, "It is said: 'Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'"
