Matthew 4:8
Douay-Rheims
Again the devil took him up into a very high mountain, and shewed him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them,
Rabanus Maurus
The Devil shews all this to the Lord, not as though he had power to extend his vision or shew Him any thing unknown. But setting forth in speech as excellent and pleasant, that vain worldly pomp wherein himself delighted, he thought by suggestion of it, to create in Christ a love of it.
