Matthew 4:4-10

4But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘1Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’”

5Then the devil took Him along into 2the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, 6and he said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written: ‘3He will give His angels orders concerning You’; and ‘On their hands they will lift You up, So that You do not strike Your foot against a stone.’” 7Jesus said to him, “4On the other hand, it is written: ‘5You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

8 6Again, the devil took Him along to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; 9and he said to Him, “7All these things I will give You, if You fall down and 8worship me.” 10Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘9You shall worship the Lord your God, and 10serve Him only.’”
