7 Do homage, then, to me, and it shal al be yours.'	7 If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine.
8 But Jesus answered him, 'Scripture says: You must do homage to the Lord your God, him alone youmust serve.'	8 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind me, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.

10 for scripture says: He has given his angels orders about you, to guard you, and again:	10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
11 They wil carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.'	11 And in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
12 But Jesus answered him, 'Scripture says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.'	12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
