Question:

When Satan told Jesus the following, what was he referring to? (If you get stuck, refer back to Day 131).

For it is written: “He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.”

What does this tell us about Satan?
