Verse 5:
1. Which city is the "holy city" referred to here?/ 2. What is the name of the temple that is referred to here?
Verse 6:
1. What does the devil mean by "throw yourself down"?/ 2. What does the quotes from Psalm 91:11-16 mean, and why does the devil use it in this situation?
other questions:
1. Why does God not want us to put him to the test, and what are some scriputure verses (from both the old& new testament) that back this up?/ 2. Why was the devil trying to get Jesus to test the Lord?/ 3. Why did the devil continue tempting Jesus? Did the devil not know that Jesus wouldn't fall into sin?
