And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread. But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.

 * He shall give his angels charge concerning thee:
 * And in their hands they shall bear thee up.
 * Lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
