Then said Jesus unto him,
Begone, Satan: for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and him only shall you serve.

Jesus Christ does not here cite the words, but the substance of the text. (Deuteronomy v. 7. and 9; vi. 13; x. 20.)
It is remarkable that our Lord bore with the pride and insolence of the devil, till he assumed to himself the honour due to God alone. (St. Chrysostom)
