See the chapter Copy

Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Satan, get away from me! You're in my way because you think like everyone else and not like God.”

Jesus answered, “Go away Satan! The Scriptures say: ‘Worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ”

You are welcome to spend the night here, just as the others did. I will find out if the Lord has something else to say about this.”

The next morning, Balaam said to Balak's officials, “Go on back home. The Lord says I cannot go with you.”

If people won't agree to this teaching, don't welcome them into your home or even greet them.

“Come home with me,” the old prophet said, “and have something to eat.”
