Luke 4:9-13

Then he led Jesus to Jerusalem and had Him stand on the pinnacle (highest point) of the temple, and said [mockingly] to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here;

for it is written and forever remains written, ‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard and protect You,’

and, ‘they will lift You up on their hands, So that You do not strike Your foot against a stone.’ ”

Jesus replied to him, “It is said [in Scripture], ‘you shall not tempt the Lord your God [to prove Himself to you].’ ”

When the devil had finished every temptation, he [temporarily] left Him until a more opportune time.Jesus’ Public Ministry
