Concerning one of the temptations Jesus experienced in the wilderness, the Scriptures state: “The Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him upon the battlement of the temple and said to him: ‘ If you are a son of God, hurl yourself down; for it is written,“ He will give his angels a charge concerning you, and they will carry you on their hands, that you may at no time strike your foot against a stone. ” ’ ”
Mengenai salah satu godaan yang dialami Yesus di padang belantara, Alkitab menyatakan, ” Iblis membawa dia ke kota kudus itu, dan menempatkan dia di atas pagar tembok di atap bait dan mengatakan kepadanya, ’ Jika engkau putra Allah, campakkan dirimu ke bawah; karena ada tertulis, ” Ia akan memberikan perintah kepada malaikat - malaikatnya berkenaan dengan dirimu, dan mereka akan membawamu di atas tangan mereka, agar tidak sekali - kali kakimu terantuk batu. ” ’ ”
