Commentaries:
Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)
The judgement (krisiv). No article, "A judgement." The next few days will test this world.
The prince of this world (o arxwn tou kosmou toutou). This phrase here, descriptive of Satan as in possession of the evil world, occurs again in John 14:30; John 16:11. In the temptations Satan claims power over the world and offers to share it with Jesus (Matthew 4:8-10; Luke 4:5-8). Jesus did not deny Satan's power then, but here proclaims final victory over him.
Shall be cast out (ekblhqhsetai ecw). Future passive of ekballw. Note ecw, clean out. The Book of Revelation also proclaims final victory over Satan.
