and
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
7 Jesus said to him,
8 Again, the devil took Him up on a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory [splendor, magnificence, and excellence] of them; 9 and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.”
10 Then Jesus said to him,
11 Then the devil left Him; and angels came and ministered to Him [bringing Him food and serving Him].
1 Now Jesus, full of [and in perfect communication with] the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness
4 Jesus replied to him,
5 Then he led Jesus up [to a high mountain] and displayed before Him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth [and their magnificence] in the twinkling of an eye. 6 And the devil said to Him, “I will give You all this realm and its glory [its power, its renown]; because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish. 7 Therefore if You worship before me, it will all be Yours.”
8 Jesus replied to him,
9 Then he led Jesus to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle (highest point) of the temple, and said [mockingly] to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here; 10 for it is written and forever remains written,
So that You do not strike Your foot against a stone.’”
12 Jesus replied to him,
13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he [temporarily] left Him until a more opportune time.
