‘aHe will command His angels concerning You’;
and
‘On their hands they will bear You up,
So that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’ ”
7 Jesus said to him, “1On the other hand, it is written, ‘aYou shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”
8 aAgain, the devil * took Him to a very high mountain and * showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory;
9 and he said to Him, “aAll these things I will give You, if You fall down and 1worship me.”
| * | A star (*) is used to mark verbs that are historical presents in the Greek which have been translated with an English past tense in order to conform to modern usage. The translators recognized that in some contexts the present tense seems more unexpected and unjustified to the English reader than a past tense would have been. But Greek authors frequently used the present tense for the sake of heightened vividness, thereby transporting their readers in imagination to the actual scene at the time of occurence. However, the translators felt that it would be wise to change these historical presents to English past tenses. |
