Regarding the second temptation, Matthew 4: 5 - 7 reports: “The Devil took him along into the holy city, and he stationed him upon the battlement of the temple and said to him: ‘ If you are a son of God, hurl yourself down; for it is written,“ He will give his angels a charge concerning you, and they will carry you on their hands, that you may at no time strike your foot against a stone. ” ’ ”
Teise kiusatuse kohta ütleb Matteuse 4: 5 — 7: „Kurat võttis tema enesega pühasse linna ja asetas ta pühakoja harjale ja ütles temale: ’ Oled sa Jumala Poeg, siis kukuta ennast alla, sest kirjutatud on: tema annab oma inglitele käsu sinu pärast, ja nemad kannavad sind kätel, et sa oma jalga vastu kivi ei tõukaks! ’
