For it is written:‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’and,‘Intheirhands they shall bear you up,Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’”7Jesus said to him,“It is written again,‘You shall nottempt theLordyour God.’”8Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, andshowed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.9And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”10Then Jesus said to him,“Away with you, Satan! For it is written,‘You shall worship theLordyour God, and Him only you shall serve.’”11Then the devilleft Him, and behold,angels came and ministered to Him.
