Matthew 4:5-11

5Then the devil took him into the holy city and had him stand on the highest part of the temple.

6He said to Jesus, “If you are the Son of God, jump! Scripture says, ‘He will put his angels in charge of you. They will carry you in their hands so that you never hit your foot against a rock.’ ”

7Jesus said to him, “Again, Scripture says, ‘Never tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

8Once more the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms in the world and their glory.

9The devil said to him, “I will give you all this if you will bow down and worship me.”

10Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! Scripture says, ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ”

11Then the devil left him, and angels came to take care of him.
