John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:10

Then saith Jesus to him, get thee hence, Satan ..... In Luke 4:8 it is "get thee behind me": and so some copies read here, and is expressive of indignation and abhorrence; see Matthew 16:23 rebuking his impudence, and detesting his impiety: he had borne his insults and temptations with great patience; he had answered him with mildness and gentleness; but now his behaviour to him was intolerable, which obliged him to show his resentment, exert his power and authority, and rid himself at... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:11

Then the devil leaveth him ,.... In Luke 4:13 it says, when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season, or until a season . That is, having tempted him with all sorts of temptations, and tried him every way to no purpose; having gone through, and finished the whole scheme and course of temptations he had devised, without success; and having orders from Christ to depart, which he was obliged to obey, leaves him for a while, till another opportunity of... read more

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

Now, when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison ,.... John was cast into prison by Herod; the reason of it may be seen in Matthew 14:3 . The prison into which he was cast, according to Josephus F19 Antiq. l. 18. c. 7. , was the castle of Machaeras: here he continued some time before he was put to death; for from hence he sent two disciples to Jesus, to know if he was the Messiah, Matthew 11:2 . Now when Jesus heard of this his imprisonment, he departed into Galilee ;... read more

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

And leaving Nazareth ,.... Where he was educated, and had lived many years together; and where he preached first to the good liking of the people, who wondered at the gracious words that proceeded out of his mouth : though afterwards they were so much displeased with him, that they thrust him out of their city; and intended to have destroyed him, by casting him down headlong from the brow of an hill; and which seems to be the reason of his leaving this city; see Luke 4:16 he came... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:14-15

That it might be fulfilled which was spoken ,.... Christ's dwelling in Capernaum accomplished a prophecy of the prophet Isaiah 9:1 and he went and dwelt there, that it might be fulfilled which he had spoken: the meaning of which prophecy is F24 See my treatise upon the "Prophecies of the Messiah", &c.; p. 147, &c.; , that as those parts of the land of Israel, there mentioned, had suffered much by Tiglathpileser, who had carried them captive, 2 Kings 15:29 and is "the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:16

The people which sat in darkness ,.... The inhabitants of Galilee, who sat or "walked", as in Isaiah; that is, continued in spiritual darkness, in ignorance, blindness, error, and infidelity, "saw great light"; Christ himself, who came a light into the world; he conversed with them, preached unto them, and opened the eyes of their understandings to behold his glory, and to know him, and salvation by him. And to them which sat in the region and shadow of death : the same persons who sit... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:17

From that time Jesus began to preach and to say ,.... Not from the time he dwelt in Capernaum; for he had preached in Nazareth before he came there, Luke 4:16 nor from the time of John's being cast into prison; for he had preached, and made disciples, who were baptized by his orders, before John's imprisonment, John 3:22 John 4:1 but from the time that Satan left tempting him; as soon as that combat was over, immediately he went into Galilee, began to preach, and called his disciples.... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:8

An exceeding high mountain, and showeth him - If the words, all the kingdoms of the world, be taken in a literal sense, then this must have been a visionary representation, as the highest mountain on the face of the globe could not suffice to make evident even one hemisphere of the earth, and the other must of necessity be in darkness. But if we take the world to mean only the land of Judea, and some of the surrounding nations, as it appears sometimes to signify, (see on Luke 2:1 ;... read more

If thou wilt fall down and worship me - As if he had said, "The whole of this land is now under my government; do me homage for it, and I will deliver it into thy hand." read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 4:10

Get thee hence - Or, behind me, οπισω μου . This is added by a multitude of the best MSS., Versions, and Fathers. This temptation savoring of nothing but diabolical impudence, Jesus did not treat it as the others; but, with Divine authority, commanded the tempter to return to his own place. In the course of this trial, it appears that our blessed Lord was tempted, 1st. To Distrust. Command these stones to become bread. read more
