TRANSCRIPT
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, "All
these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
10 Then Jesus said to him, "Away with you, Satan! For it is written, 'You shall worship the LORD your God, and Him
only you shall serve.' "
Exodus 17:1-71 Then all the congregation of the children of
Israel set out on their journey from the Wilderness of Sin, according to the
commandment of the LORD, and camped in Rephidim; but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 Therefore the people
contended with Moses, and said, "Give us water, that we may drink." And Moses said to them, "Why do you contend with me? Why
do you tempt the LORD?”
3 And the people thirsted there for water, and the people complained against Moses, and said, "Why is it you have
brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our livestock with
thirst?“ 4 So Moses cried out to the LORD, saying, "What shall I do with this people?
They are almost ready to stone me!”
5 And the LORD said to Moses, "Go on before the people, and take with you
some of the elders of Israel. Also take in your hand your rod with which you struck
the river, and go. 6 Behold, I will stand before you there on the rock in Horeb; and you shall strike the rock, and water will come out of it, that the people may drink." And Moses did so in the sight of
the elders of Israel.
7 So he called the name of the place Massah and Meribah, because of the contention of
the children of Israel, and because they tempted the LORD, saying, "Is the LORD
among us or not?” The people were thirsty and ready to mutiny against Moses and
return to Egypt if he did not provide them with water. God supplied the water, but only
after the people had “tested the LORD by saying, ’Is the LORD going to take care of us
or not?’“
8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to Him, "All
these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me."
Philippians 2:9-119 Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is

those under the earth, 11 and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

for themselves teachers;
4 and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables. 5 But you be watchful in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist,
fulfill your ministry.
