4 But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘(A)Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’”
4 Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy: “It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God’s mouth.”
4 But Jesus told him, “No! For the Scriptures tell us that bread won’t feed men’s souls: obedience to every word of God is what we need.”
