 Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the temple, and said, If you are the son of God, jump off. For the scriptures say he will order his angels to protect you and guard you, and they will hold you up with their hands, so you won't even hurt your foot on a stone. Jesus responded, The scriptures also say you must not test the Lord your God. When the devil had finished tempting Jesus, he left him until the next opportunity came.
