But he answering said, It is written, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God."

Jesus said unto him, It is written again, "Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God." Again the devil taketh him unto an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; and saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall prostrate and worship me.

Hebrews 2:9-18

But we see Jesus for a little while made lower than angels, by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour, that, by the grace of God, he might taste of death for every one. For it became him, for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to perfect the Author of their salvation by sufferings. For both he that sanctifies, and they who are sanctified, are all of one. For which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, read more.
saying, "I will declare thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church I will sing hymns to thee." And again, "I will place my confidence in him." And again, "Behold! Here am I, and the children which God hath given me." Seeing therefore that the children have partaken of flesh and blood, he also himself, in exact resemblance, partook of the same, that by death he might destroy him who held the power of death, that is, the devil; and deliver those, even as many as through their whole life were subjects of bondage to the fear of death. For he verily took not on him the angelic nature, but assumed that of the seed of Abraham. Wherefore he ought in all things to be made like to his brethren, in order to become a merciful and faithful high-priest in those things which relate to God, to make a propitiation for the sins of the people: for inasmuch as he hath himself suffered, having been tempted, he is able to succour those who are tempted.
