The devil said to Him: “To you I will give all this authority, and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I want to.
7 If thou then wilt worship me, it shall all be thine.
So you, if you would worship before me, all will be yours.”
8 And Jesus answering said to him, It is written, “Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.”

and, ‘They will carry you along on their hands, so you do not stub your foot on a stone.’”
12 And Jesus answering said to him, It hath been said, “Thou shalt not make trial of the Lord thy God.”
In answer Jesus said to him: “The statement stands, ‘You shall not test the Lord your God!’”
