Matthew 4:5

The Temptation Of Jesus

⁴ And he having answered, said, It has been written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word going forth through the mouth of God. ⁵ Then the devil takes him into the holy city, and sets him upon the small wing of the temple; ⁶ And says to him, If thou art the Son of God cast thyself down; for it has been written, That to his messengers he will command concerning thee; and in the hands shall they lift thee up, lest that perhaps thou strike thy foot against a stone.
