Luke 4:9 - People's Commentary (NT)

Luke 4:9

7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”

8 And Jesus answered and said to him,¹ “Get behind Me, Satan! For it is written, ^a‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

9 ^aThen he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.

10 For it is written:
^a‘He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you,’

11 and,
^a‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’ ”

12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ^a‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

13 Now when the devil had ended every¹ temptation, he departed from Him ^auntil an opportune time.
