# General Information:

Jesus rebukes Satan with a quotation from Deuteronomy.

# It is written

This can be stated in active form. Alternate translation: "Moses wrote this in the scriptures long ago" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-activepassive]])

# Man does not live on bread alone

This implies that there is something more important to life than food.

# but by every word that comes out of the mouth of God

Here "word" and "mouth" refer to what God says. Alternate translation: "but by listening to everything that God says" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy]])
