Context of Luke 4:10

8‘No!’ Jesus replied, ‘The Bible says, “Only worship your Lord God. He is the only one that you should obey.” ’ 9The Devil now took Jesus to Jerusalem. He took him to stand on the highest part of the temple. Then he said to Jesus, ‘If you are the Son of God, jump down from here to the ground. You know that the Bible says: “God will tell his angels to keep you safe.” 11“They will hold you safely in their hands. They will not let you hurt your foot on a stone.” ’ 12‘No!’ Jesus replied. ‘The Bible says, “Do not test the Lord God, to see if he will save you.” ’
