‘Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them, And said to him: all these will I give thee, if falling down thou wilt adore me, Then Jesus saith to him, Begone, Satan! For it is written, The Lord thy God shalt thou adore, and him only shalt thou serve.’ (Matthew, iv. 8-10, Douai version)
