ⁱ“‘Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”
5 ^jThen the devil took him to ^kthe holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

^l“‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and

“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”
7Jesus said to him, “Again ^mit is written, ⁿ‘You shall not ^oput the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 ^pAgain, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, ^qSatan! For ^rit is written,

^s“‘You shall worship the Lord your God
and ^thim only shall you serve.’”
11Then the devil left him, and behold, ^uangels came and were ministering to him.
