John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:7

If thou therefore wilt worship me ,.... Or "before me"; that is, fall down before him, and give him divine worship and homage. A wide difference there is between a good angel and a fallen angel; a good angel will not suffer himself to be worshipped by men, but directs to the worship of God only, Revelation 19:10 but a fallen angel not only seeks to be worshipped by men, but by the Son of God himself, even by him whom all the holy angels worship, Hebrews 1:6 This was what Satan at first... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:8

Jesus answered and said unto him ,.... The following words, with indignation at him, and detestation of his proposals: get thee behind me, Satan ; which are omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in three ancient copies of Beza's, and in his most ancient one; but stand in other copies, and in the Arabic version. For it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve . This passage stands in Deuteronomy 6:13 where the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:9

And he brought him to Jerusalem ,.... The holy city, as Matthew calls it, from the wilderness thither; where he found him, and first attacked him, and perhaps he brought him through the air: and set him on a pinnacle of the temple; which was in Jerusalem; See Gill on Matthew 4:6 . And said unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence ; from the pinnacle of the temple, on which he was set; See Gill on Matthew 4:6 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:10-11

For it is written ,.... In Psalm 91:11 "He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee; and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." It is an observation made long ago by Jerom, on Psalm 91:11 that Satan, in citing this text, has left out the middle clause, to keep thee in all thy ways , which he knew was against him, and has only taken that which made for him; and on Matthew 4:6 he observes, that this prophecy is not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:12

And Jesus answering said unto him, it is said ,.... In Deuteronomy 6:16 Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God : in the text in Deuteronomy the words are, "ye shall not tempt the Lord your God." The second person plural, is here changed into the second person singular, to accommodate the words to Satan; whom Christ singly addresses, and makes answer to, and who was under this same general law as other rational creatures: and Jehovah may be called the Lord his God, as he is his creator... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:13

And when the devil had ended all the temptation ,.... Or "all his temptations", as the Syriac version reads; not only the last mentioned, but all the rest, whether inward or outward, in a visible or in an invisible manner; whether during his forty days fast, or after he was an hungered, when he had tried every way, and all sorts of temptations with him; and when he had done this, "in", or "with all his power", as the Ethiopic version reads; "when he had done his utmost", and his best; and as... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Luke 4:14

And Jesus returned in the power of the Spirit ,.... Of which he was full, and by which he was led into the wilderness, and had combated with Satan, and had got the victory over him; and by virtue of which, he entered on his public ministry, wrought miracles, and taught with authority. A like way of speaking is used by the Targumist, on Micah 3:8 . I am filled, בתקוף רוח נבואה , "with the power of the spirit of prophecy", from before the Lord. Moreover, this phrase is used, to show... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:1

Was led by the Spirit - Or, And was carried about, ηγετο . Matthew says, ανηχθη , he was brought up. Mark says, the Spirit driveth him εκβαλλει - putteth him forth. But each of the evangelists attributes this to the Holy Ghost, not to Satan. It may be useful to remark here, that, during the forty days and forty nights in which he is said to have been tempted by the devil, he is carried about, continually sustained and supported, by the Holy Ghost. Let those who are tempted by Satan... read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:7

If thou - wilt worship me - This temptation is the last in order, as related by Matthew; and it is not reasonable to suppose that any other succeeded to it. Luke has here told the particulars, but not in the order in which they took place. See every circumstance of this temptation considered and explained in the notes on Matthew 4:1-11 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Luke 4:14

Returned in the power of the Spirit - Εν τῃ δυναμει του πνευματος , In the mighty power of the Spirit. Having now conquered the grand adversary, he comes in the miracle-working energy of the Spirit to show forth his power, godhead, and love to the people, that they might believe and be saved. He who, through the grace of God, resists and overcomes temptation, is always bettered by it. This is one of the wonders of God's grace, that those very things which are designed for our utter ruin... read more
