Behold the Christ, the gnostic, the revealer

Command these stones to turn themselves to bread"

Man shall be alive, but by the word of God

Of the temple unto the earth"

And showed him all the kingdoms of this world

And their glory, and said, "All of this I will give unto thee

If thou wilt fall and worship me"

"Get thee behind me, Satan"
