In this passage, the devil is quoting scripture to Jesus during His temptation in the wilderness. The verse is originally from Psalm 91, which speaks of God's protection over those who trust in Him. The devil uses this verse to tempt Jesus into proving His divine protection by suggesting He throw Himself off the temple. However, Jesus responds by refusing to test God, emphasizing the importance of faith and trust without demanding proof. This interaction teaches believers about the misuse of scripture and the importance of understanding its true context and meaning. It also highlights the theme of God's protection, assuring believers that God is always present to guard and guide them through life's challenges. The verse serves as a reminder that while God's promises are true, they should not be used to test His faithfulness. Instead, it calls for a deeper trust in God's plan and timing, encouraging believers to live in faith and obedience.
"they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone."
