マタイの福音書 4:8 JCB

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:1-11

Matthew 4:1-11 I. One cannot help thinking and wondering why this temptation should take place, and though all the reasons cannot be known, some of them we think we can see. We know there is a devil. Perhaps the most clever of all Satanic schemes is that in which he persuades men that he does not exist. What would suit a general better than to persuade the troops he is seeking to destroy that he is a mere creature of the imagination, that all the stories told about his being seen are mere... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:8-9

Matthew 4:8-9 I. The root of the third temptation lay in the thought that the kingdoms of the world were the devil's kingdoms, and that it was he who could dispose of them. If our Lord had believed this, if He had acknowledged this claim, He would have been falling down and worshipping the evil spirit, He would have been confessing him to be the Lord. But for all that He beheld the horrible vision of human misery and human crime; for all that He found men actually doing homage to the spirit of... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:8-10

Matthew 4:8-10 I. There is no falsehood on the face of the earth so dangerous as truth when that truth comes distorted, placed in wrong order, or laid in false proportions. This was exactly the character of the last temptation. All the kingdoms of the would, and all the glory of them, were Christ's; and He was even at that moment at the commencement of the path by which He was going to take possession of them. But to that kingdom there was an appointed time, a prescribed way, and covenanted... read more

C.I. Scofield

Scofield's Reference Notes - Matthew 4:8

world The Greek word kosmos means "order," "arrangement," and so, with the Greeks, "beauty"; for order and arrangement in the sense of system are at the bottom of the Greek conception of beauty. When used in the N.T. of humanity, the "world" of men, it is organized humanity-- humanity in families, tribes, nations--which is meant. The word for chaotic, unorganized humanity--the mere mass of man is thalassa, the "sea" of men (e.g.) Revelation 13:1 (See Scofield "Revelation 13:1- :") . For "world"... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Matthew 4:1-25

Chapter FourThen was Jesus led of the Spirit into the wilderness ( Matthew 4:1 )Immediately, He is now being led by the Spirit, walking after the Spirit. The New Testament has so much to say to us concerning the life of the Spirit and walking in the Spirit. There are so many people that put the emphasis upon the baptism of the Holy Spirit; where in reality, the emphasis should be upon the walk of the Spirit, not the gifts, not the phenomenon, not the excitement, not the manifestations. But the... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Matthew 4:1-25

Matthew 4:1 . Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit, υπο του πνευματος , the Holy Spirit, as indicated by the Greek article, and declared in the verses preseding. Led into the wilderness, where he was with the wild beasts. Mark 1:12-13. Here, like Moses on the mount, Exodus 24:0., the Saviour enjoyed abstraction from the world, and lived with the Father, without need of earthly food, as the saints shall live in heaven. Here also, as Moses received the law, so the Saviour received the new... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Matthew 4:8

Matthew 4:8Again, the devil.The third temptationI. The preparation for this temptation. Satan suits the external circumstances to the temptation, and draws his snare from them.

Again the devil taketh him ] This master fly Beelzebub, though beaten away once and again, yet returns to the same place. See how shameless he is in renewing his temptations after a flat repulse. He solicits and sets upon our Saviour again (as Potiphar’s wife did upon Joseph, for all his many denials), and is not only importunate, but impudent. Stand... read more
