Luke 4:11 In-Context

9 Then 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.

10 For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully,

11 and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’ ”

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

13 When the devil had finished every temptation, he left Him until an opportune time.
