4 Jesus answering, said, It is written, "Man lives not by bread only, but by everything which God is pleased to appoint."
But Jesus answered and said to him, “It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God.'”
5 Then the devil conveyed him into the holy city, and having placed him on the battlement of the temple,

10 Jesus answered, Satan, begone; for it is written, "Thou shalt worship the Lord they God, and shall serve him only."
Then Jesus said to him, “Go away from here, Satan! For it is written, 'You will worship the Lord your God, and you will serve only him.'”
