Matthew 4:3 in context

The verses around it, from Matthew 4.

1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

2 After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry.

3 The tempter came to Him and said, “If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.”

4 But Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”

5 Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple.

6 “If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written: ‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

7 Jesus replied, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”
