If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.” Jesus replied, “It is written, ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’”

  5. The devil led Jesus to Jerusalem to the temples pinnacle, and tempted a third time. “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, to protect you,’ and ‘On their hands they will bear you up, so that you will not dash your foot against a stone.’” Jesus gave his final reply, “It is said, ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
