5. Then the devil taketh him [Jesus] up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,

6. And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.

7. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.

Note

The mocking statement "If  thou be the Son of God" had no affect on Jesus because He is comfortable knowing who He is.  The devil loses power over us when we know who we are and who Jesus is.
