For it is written,‘He will command his angels concerning you’ and‘with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’” 7 Jesus said to him,“Once again it is written:‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’” 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their grandeur. 9 And he said to him,“I will give you all these things if you throw yourself to the ground and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him,“Go away, Satan!
