Context of Luke 4:6

4Yeshua answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” 5And leading Him up, the devil showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in an instant. And the devil said to Him, “I’ll give to You all this authority along with its glory, because it has been handed over to me and I can give it to anyone I wish. 7Therefore, if you will worship before me, all this shall be Yours.” 8But answering, Yeshua told him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship Adonai your God, and Him only shall you serve.’”
