Luke 4:11-13

EasyEnglish Bible

¹¹“They will hold you safely in their hands.
They will not let you hurt your foot on a stone.” ’^[a]

¹²‘No!’ Jesus replied. ‘The Bible says,

“Do not test the Lord God, to see if he will save you.” ’^[b]

¹³In those ways, the Devil tried to make Jesus do many wrong things. When he had finished this, he left Jesus alone. He waited for another chance.

4:11 The Devil was using the words from Psalms 91:11-12. But he was not using them in a right way.
4:12 Jesus was speaking words from Deuteronomy 6:16. He was standing on the highest part of the temple. This was 600 metres above the ground. He knew that God did not want him to jump. We must not get into danger just to see God save us.
