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