Matthew 4:5

The Temptation Of Jesus

⁴ But He answered, “It is written:

Man must not live on bread alone
but on every word that comes
from the mouth of God.” ⁵ Then the Devil took Him to the holy city, had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, ⁶ and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:

He will give His angels orders concerning you,
and they will support you with their hands
so that you will not strike
your foot against a stone.”
