6

and said to him, “To you I will give all this authority and their glory, for it has been delivered to me, and I give it to whom I will.

7

If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.

7

If you, then, will worship me, it will all be yours.”

8

And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

“‘You shall worship the Lord your God,
and him only shall you serve.’”

10

for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

for it is written,
“‘He will command his angels concerning you,
to guard you,’

11

and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.

11

and
“‘On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’”

12

And Jesus answering said to him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt [the] Lord thy God.

And Jesus answered him, “It is said, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
