And the tempting [one], having come to Him, said, “If You are the Son of God—speak that these stones may become loaves.”
4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
But He answering said, “It has been written: Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word coming forth from the mouth of God.”
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
