Luke

Luke 4:9–12

⁹Then 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. ¹⁰For it is written:

‘He will command His angels concerning You

to guard You carefully,

¹¹and they will lift You up in their hands,

so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’^d”

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