Luke 4:3 Douay-Rheims

And the devil said to him: If thou be the Son of God, say to this stone that it be made bread.

Origen

c. A.D. 184–253 Patristic

I suppose also that even now at this very time the devil shews a stone to men that he may tempt them to speak, saying to them, Command this stone to be made bread. If thou seest the heretics devouring their lying doctrines as if they were bread, know that their teaching is a stone which the devil shews them.
