_Scheffer, Plate 44,_ shows Jesus "upon an exceeding high mountain"
and Satan offering him the world for one act of worship. Jesus is
about to say, "Worship God." (Matt. 4:8-10.) _Hofmann, Plate 45,_ has
selected the next moment when Satan retreats and an angel comes to
minister to the famished man. (Matt. 4:11.) The serpent is present
because of Rev. 12:9.
