Regarding the second temptation, Matthew 4: 5 - 7 reports: “The Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him upon the battlement of the temple and said to him: ‘ If you are a son of God, hurl yourself down; for it is written,“ He will give his angels a charge concerning you, and they will carry you on their hands, that you may at no time strike your foot against a stone. ” ’ ”
पहले बिना ‘ सोचे समझे ’ जल्दबाज़ी में कुछ करना, और फिर असफलता के लिए शैतान पर दोष लगाना, या इससे भी बदतर, यहोवा से दख़ल देने की अपेक्षा करना, केवल ढिठाई ही नहीं होगी बल्कि शास्त्रवचन के विपरित भी होगा । — लूका १४: २८, २९.
