Matthew 4:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Matthew 4:6

4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ^a‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’ ”

5 Then the devil took Him up ^ainto the holy city, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple,

6 and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down. For it is written:
^a‘He shall give His angels charge over you,’ and,
^b‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ^a‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

8 Again, the devil took Him up on an exceedingly high mountain, and ^ashowed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory.

9 And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You if You will fall down and worship me.”

10 Then Jesus said to him,¹ “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ^a‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

11 Then the devil ^aleft Him, and behold, ^bangels came and ministered to Him.
