Temptation on the Temple, Duccio di Buoninsegna, 1308-11

“THEN the devil took him up into the holy city and set him upon the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him: If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down. For it is written: That he hath given his angels charge over Thee, and in their hands shall they bear Thee up, lest perhaps Thou dash Thy foot against a stone. Jesus said to him: It is written again: Thou shalt not tempt the Lord Thy God.” [Matthew 4, 6-7]
