 (ii) In the second temptation Jesus in imagination stood upon a mountain from which the whole civilized world could be seen. The tempter said, "Worship me, and all will be yours." This is the temptation to compromise. The devil said, "I have got people in my grip. Don't set your standards so high. Strike a bargain with me.

Once again Jesus quotes scripture ( Deuteronomy 6:13; Deuteronomy 10:1-22; Deuteronomy 20:1-20).
