Then leading him to a height, the devil

showed him in a moment of time all the

kingdoms of the world and said to him,

"I will give you all this power and their splendor,

for it has been handed over to me, for me

to give it to anyone I choose. Do homage,

then, to me, and it shall all be yours."

from The Gospel According To Luke

chapter 4 verses 5-7
