Who doesn't want proof? We'd like to know for certain, right?
That's what the devil is offering Jesus. He wants Jesus to show off to everyone that he is who he says he is. If he performs this public task, then no one will be uncertain.
But God isn't someone to be manipulated, Jesus tells the devil. There is still a role for faith. Belief in God encourages us to dig in and learn everything we can, to ask big questions and seek answers, but we'll never have complete knowledge, because we are not equivalent to God. God exists outside of time and space, so let us follow every thread, but there will always be a space for faith.
