11 and, ‘On their hands they will bear you up, lest perhaps you dash your foot against a stone.’”
11 καὶ ὅτι ἐπὶ χειρῶν ἀροῦσί σε, μήποτε προσκόψῃς πρὸς λίθον τὸν πόδα σου.

12 Jesus answering, said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’”
12 καὶ ἀποκριθεὶς εἶπεν αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς ὅτι εἴρηται, οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις Κύριον τὸν Θεόν σου.
