Cross-References
Abel brought the best parts from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord accepted Abel and his gift,
Later, the Lord said to Cain, "Where is your brother Abel?" Cain answered, "I don't know. Is it my job to take care of my brother?"
And now you will be cursed in your work with the ground, the same ground where your brother's blood fell and where your hands killed him.
Then Cain said to the Lord , "This punishment is more than I can stand!
Today you have forced me to stop working the ground, and now I must hide from you. I must wander around on the earth, and anyone who meets me can kill me."
Then they brought the long-sleeved robe to their father and said, "We found this robe. Look it over carefully and see if it is your son's robe."
He remembers who the murderers are; he will not forget the cries of those who suffer.
If you hide your sins, you will not succeed. If you confess and reject them, you will receive mercy.
You belong to your father the devil, and you want to do what he wants. He was a murderer from the beginning and was against the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he tells a lie, he shows what he is really like, because he is a liar and the father of lies.
Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he brought him to Jerusalem,.... The holy city, as Matthew calls it, from the wilderness thither; where he found him, and first attacked him, and perhaps he brought him through the air: and set him on a pinnacle of the temple; which was in Jerusalem;
:-.
And said unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence; from the pinnacle of the temple, on which he was set;

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
On the temptation of Jesus, see the notes at Matthew 4:1-11.
Luke 4:2
Being forty days tempted - That is, through forty days he was “tried” in various ways by the devil. The temptations, however, which are recorded by Matthew and Luke did not take place until the forty days were finished. See Matthew 4:2-3.
He did eat nothing - He was sustained by the power of God during this season of extraordinary fasting.
Luke 4:13
Departed for a season - For a time. From this it appears that our Saviour was “afterward” subjected to temptations by Satan, but no “particular” temptations are recorded after this. From John 14:30, it seems that the devil tried or tempted him in the agony in Gethsemane. Compare the notes at Hebrews 12:4. It is more than probable, also, that Satan did much to excite the Pharisees and Sadducees to endeavor to “entangle him,” and the priests and rulers to oppose him; yet out of all his temptations God delivered him; and so he will make a way to escape for “all” that are tempted, and will not suffer them to be tempted above that which they are able to bear, 1 Corinthians 10:13.
Luke 4:14
In the power of the Spirit - By the “influence” or direction of the Spirit.
A fame - A report. See Matthew 4:24.
