Luke 4:9
Compare all
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.

Luke 4:9

Led him (hgagen). Aorist active indicative of agw. Matthew 4:5 has paralambanei (dramatic present).

The wing of the temple (to pterugion tou ierou). See on Matthew 4:5. It is not easy to determine precisely what it was.

From hence (enteuqen). This Luke adds to the words in Matthew, which see.

To guard thee (tou diafulacai se). Not in Matthew 4:6 quoted by Satan from Psalms 91:11-12. Satan does not misquote this Psalm, but he misapplies it and makes it mean presumptuous reliance on God. This compound verb is very old, but occurs here alone in the N.T. and that from the LXX. Luke repeats oti (recitative oti after gegraptai, is written) after this part of the quotation.
