For it is written: 7Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’Deut. 6:16” 8Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor.9“All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” 10Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!
