Hi friends. I'm Annie F. Downs. Let's read the Gospels. The Gospels are the first four books of the New

these kingdoms and authority over them, the devil said, because they are mine to give to anyone I please.

I will give it all to you if you will worship me. Jesus replied, the scripture say, you must worship the Lord your God

and serve only him. Then the devil took him to Jerusalem to the highest point of the temple and said,
