Jesus said to him, Again has it been written, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. Again, the devil takes him into a very high mount, and shows him all the kingdoms of the world, and their glory; And he says to him, All these will I give to thee, if, falling down, thou wouldst worship me. Then says Jesus to him, Retire, Satan; for it has been written, The Lord thy God shalt thou worship, and him alone shalt thou serve.

But we see Jesus, made some little while less than angels by the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; so that by the grace of God he should taste of death for all. For it became him, for whom all things, and by whom all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to perfect the chief of their salvation by sufferings. For be consecrating and they being consecrated all of one: for which cause he is not ashamed to call them brethren, read more.
Saying, I will announce thy name to my brethren, in the midst of the church will I praise thee. And again, I will be confident in him. And again, Behold I and the young children which God gave me. Since therefore the young children participated in flesh and blood, he also likewise participated with them; that by death he might leave unemployed him having the strength of death, that is, the devil; And deliver them, as many as by fear of death were always to live bound by slavery. For certainly he lays not hold of angels; but of the seed of Abraham he lays hold. Wherefore in all things it was necessary to be made like to the brethren, that he might be a merciful and faithful chief priest in things towards God, in order to propitiate for the sin of the people. For in that he himself has suffered, having been tempted, he is able to help the tempted.
