You shall not have other gods besides me.
You shall not carve idols for yourselves in the shape of anything in the sky above or on the earth below or in the waters beneath the earth;

The Temptation of Jesus

The tempter came to Him and said, "If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread!"

The tempter came to Him and said, "If You are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread!"
But Jesus answered, "It is written: ‘Human shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’"
Then the devil took Him to the holy city and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple. "If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down. For it is written:
‘He will command His angels concerning You, and they will lift You up in their hands, so that You will not strike Your footagainst a stone.’"
Jesus replied, "It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test!’"
Again, the devil took Him to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. "All this I will give You," he said, "if You will fall down and worship me."
"Depart, Satan!" Jesus declared, "For it is written: ´Worship the Lord your God and serve Him only!’"
Then the devil left Him, and angels came and ministered to Him. Matthew 4,1-11
