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,

John Chrysostom (attributed)

Patristic

But such things as are gotten by iniquity in this world, as riches, for instance, gained by fraud or perjury, these the Devil bestows. The Devil therefore cannot give riches to whom he will, but to those only who are willing to receive them of him.
