Jesus
TemptationGod's wordFaith

10 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.’”

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

13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.

14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the power of the Spirit, and the news about Him spread throughout the surrounding region.
