translationNotes

- tested him - "challenged Jesus"
- What is written in the law - This can be translated with an active verb: "What did Moses write in the law" or "What do the scriptures say?" (See: en:ta:vol2:translate:figs_activepassive)
- How do you read it? - "What have you read in it?" or "What do you understand it to say?"
