‘He will command his angels concerning you,’
and
‘On their hands they will lift you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’ ”
7Jesus said to him, “On the other hand it is written, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’ ”[#A quotation from Deut 6:16]

14in order that what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah would be fulfilled, who said,

16the people who sit in darkness
and the ones who sit in the land and shadow of death,
17From that time on, Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, because the kingdom of heaven is near.”
18Now as he was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew, throwing a casting net into the sea (for they were fishermen).[#*Here “as” is supplied as a component of the participle (“was walking”) which is understood as temporal]
