7 thou, then, if thou mayest bow before me — all shall be thine.'

For it is written, 'He will give orders to his angels regarding you, to protect you,'
11 and — On hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou mayest dash against a stone thy foot.'
and, 'They will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.'”
12 And Jesus answering said to him — 'It hath been said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.'
