Luke 4:10

8 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only.’”

9 Then the devil led Him to Jerusalem and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down from here.

For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully;

11 and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

12 But Jesus answered, “It also says, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
