Luke 4:8

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

Jesus answered and said unto him,.... The following words, with indignation at him, and detestation of his proposals:get thee behind me, Satan; which are omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in three ancient copies of Beza's, and in his most ancient one; but stand in other copies, and in the Arabic version.

For it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
