BOOKS! Matt 43-4 3. And the tempter came and
said to him, "If you are the Son of God, command
these stones to become loaves of bread." 4. But
he answered, "It is written, 'Man shall not live
by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds
from the mouth of God.'" Deut. 83.

written, 'You shall not tempt the Lord your
God.'" --Deut. 616. Matt 410 Then Jesus
said to him, "Begone, Satan! for it is written,
'You shall worship the Lord your God and him only
shall you serve.'" --Deut. 613. NOTE Jesus
used His knowledge of the Scriptures to deal
with Temptation!

up unto you a Prophet from the midst of you, of
your brethren, like unto me unto him you shall

them up a Prophet from among their brethren, like
unto you, and will put my words in his mouth and
he shall speak unto them all that I shall command
him. -- Cf. Acts 322.

DO! Mark 1615-16 And He said to them, "Go
into all the world and preach the gospel to every
creature.16 He who believes and is baptized will
be saved but he who does not believe will be
condemned. Acts 238 Then Peter said unto
them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in
the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of
sins, and you shall receive the gift of the Holy
Spirit.

POST-SCRIPT! Deut 3410 10 But since then
there has not arisen in Israel a prophet like
Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face
