Led by the Spirit, Tempted by the Devil (1 of 3)
Not Today Satan

"
5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, " 'He will command his angels concerning you,' and " 'On thei ...
