3 And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
Then the tempter accosting him, said, If thou be God's Son, command that these stones 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.
Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint."
5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

14 That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
thereby verifying the words of Isaiah the Prophet;
15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of Nephthalim, [by] the way of the sea, beyond Jordan, Galilee of the Gentiles;
"The canton of Zebulun and the canton of Naphtali, situate on the Jordan near the sea, Galilee of the nations;
