Matthew 4:6. He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
The devil did not quote correctly from Psalms 91:11-12; he left out the most important words: "He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways," but it was not Christ’s way to cast himself down from the pinnacle of the temple. Jesus therefore answered Satan’s misquotation with a true quotation.
