Luke 4:4-6
1599 Geneva Bible
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, (A)That man shall not live by bread only, but by every word of God.
5 Then the devil took him up into an high mountain, and showed him all the kingdoms of the world, in the twinkling of an eye.
6 And the devil said unto him, All this [a]power will I give thee, and the glory of those kingdoms: for that is [b]delivered to me: and to whomsoever I will, I give it.
