Tested By the Devil

In the wild for forty days was a test. As he hungered the devil did suggest turning stones into bread so that he could be fed. “There's more to life than bread.” Jesus did stress. Up at the top all the world could be seen. “Its kingdoms could be yours and all between, if me you would worship you'd have a power trip.” “Worship is for God, all else is obscene.” From high on the temple, right at the lip, “Throw yourself down for there's a scripture tip that in angels' arms you'll come to no harm.” “Test not your God.” He gave Satan the slip. Luke 4.1-13
