Context of Luke 4:8

6And 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.” But answering, Yeshua told him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship Adonai your God, and Him only shall you serve.’” 9Then he brought Yeshua to Jerusalem and placed Him on the highest point of the Temple.
