But had the poor demented man been a Christian, Bob, he would have
been familiar with the verses,
================================================
And said to him: If thou be the Son of God,
cast thyself down, for it is written:
That he hath given his angels charge over thee,
and in their hands shall they bear thee up,
lest perhaps thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Jesus said to him: It is written again:
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
================================================
he would have emulated Our Lord and not have cast himself down
into the lion's den. 8-)
