and said to him, “If you are the Ben-Elohim ·Son of Elohim God·, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will enjoin his angels unto you.’ And, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you don’t dash your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Again, it is written, ‘You shall not test MarYah [Master Yahweh], your God.’”

9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”
He said to him, “I will give you all of these things, if you will fall down and worship me.”
10 “Away from Me, Satan!” Jesus declared. “For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”
Then Yeshua [Salvation] said to him, “Get behind me, Satan [Adversary]! For it is written, ‘You shall worship MarYah [Master Yahweh] your God, and you shall serve him only.’”

16 the people living in darkness have seen a great light; on those living in the land of the shadow of death, a light has dawned.”
