Then the devil took him up and revealed to him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
“I will give you the glory of these kingdoms and authority over them,” the devil said, “because they are mine to give to anyone I please.
And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
I will give it all to you if you will worship me.”
Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
Then the devil took him to Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off!

To keep you,’

Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”
