Matthew 4:4-10

4But He answeredG611 and saidG3004, “It is writtenG1125, ‘1ManG444 shall not liveG2198 on breadG740 aloneG3441, but on everyG3956 wordG4487 that proceedsG1607 out of the mouthG4750 of GodG2316.’”

5ThenG5119 the devilG1228 tookG3880 Him into 2the holyG40 cityG4172 and had Him standG2476 on the pinnacleG4419 of the templeG2413, 6and saidG3004 to Him, “IfG1487 You are the SonG5207 of GodG2316, throwG906 YourselfG4572 downG2736; for it is writtenG1125, ‘3He will commandG1781 His angelsG32 concerningG4012 You’; and ‘On their handsG5495 they will bearG142 You up, SoG3379 that You will not strikeG4350 Your footG4228 againstG4314 a stoneG3037.’” 7JesusG2424 saidG5346 to him, “4On the otherG3825 handG3825, it is writtenG1125, ‘5You shall not putG1598 the LordG2962 your GodG2316 to the testG1598.’”

86AgainG3825, the devilG1228 tookG3880 Him to a veryG3029 highG5308 mountainG3735 and showedG1166 Him allG3956 the kingdomsG932 of the worldG2889 and their gloryG1391; 9and he saidG3004 to Him, “7AllG3956 theseG3778 thingsG3778 I will giveG1325 You, ifG1437 You fallG4098 downG4098 and 8worshipG4352 me.” 10ThenG5119 JesusG2424 saidG3004 to him, “GoG5217, SatanG4567! For it is writtenG1125, ‘9You shall worshipG4352 the LordG2962 your GodG2316, and 10serveG3000 Him onlyG3441.’”
