Matthew 4:7

Jesus
FaithObedience

5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.

6 “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not 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 glory.

9 “All this I will give You,” he said, “if You will fall down and worship me.”
