Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 4:13

And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season.Chaplain Branham of the U.S. Army had a favorite sermon that he liked to preach from this text, entitled "The Devil's Vacation." Satan does not assail mortals with a state of constant, invariable pressure, but varies it in order to achieve advantage through surprise.Departed from him for a season ... These words actually mean, however, "until a season," that is, "a favorable season." Many have referred this to... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 4:13

Luke 4:13. He departed—for a season.— This implies that he assaulted him afterwards; see John 14:30. We may therefore believe, that he was not much wiser for the trial which he now made. It is true, we find the devils more than once confessing our Lord in the course of his ministry; but it does not thence follow, that theywere fully satisfied of his character. If they suspected him to be theMessiah, they might give him the title, in order to make his enemies believe that he acted in concert... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 4:1-13

D. The temptation of Jesus 4:1-13 (cf. Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13)Luke stressed how the Spirit who had come upon Jesus at His baptism guided and empowered Him in His temptation and how Jesus, God’s approved Son, pleased His Father by His obedience. Jesus overcame the devil, who opposed God’s plans. This story is also edifying because it helps believers understand how to recognize and overcome Satan’s attacks. We do so as Jesus did by obeying God’s will as revealed in Scripture. Jesus drew His... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 4:13

The devil only left Jesus temporarily; he continued to tempt Him later. However, Luke viewed Jesus’ victory here as significant. His lack of reference to the fact that angels then ministered to Jesus (Matthew 4:11; Mark 1:13) reinforces Jesus’ personal victory over Satan."Moses fasted in the middle, Elijah at the end, Jesus at the beginning of His ministry. Moses fasted in the Presence of God; Elijah alone; Jesus assaulted by the Devil. Moses had been called up by God; Elijah had gone forth in... read more

(13) When the devil had ended all the temptation.—Better, had completed every kind of temptation. The three trials were each typical in character, and taken together they made up the cycle of those to which our Lord’s human nature was then open.For a season.—Till a [convenient] season—i.e., till the close of the great work, the time of the power of darkness (Luke 22:53), when the prince of this world again came (John 14:30), and, trying then the power of suffering, as he had before tried the... read more

Luke 4:4 The Greeks... knew that man does not live by bread alone, that livelihood is not life, that mere wealth is not well-being. The satisfaction of material wants is not the end of human endeavour. The wealth of nations, like the happiness of individuals, has its source deeper than in the accumulation of riches or the expansion of commerce. The true value of the goods of life is determined by the sense of life as a whole, and by their relation to the higher and distinctively human ends of... read more
