Gill's Notes on the Bible
Jesus answered and said unto him,.... The following words, with indignation at him, and detestation of his proposals:
get thee behind me, Satan; which are omitted in the Vulgate Latin, Syriac, Persic, and Ethiopic versions, and in three ancient copies of Beza's, and in his most ancient one; but stand in other copies, and in the Arabic version.
For it is written, thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. This passage stands in Deuteronomy 6:13 where the words are, "thou shalt fear the Lord thy God, and serve him, and thou shalt swear by his name": the last clause is not cited by Christ at all, swearing being only a species, or part of religious worship; and the other two clauses are somewhat different from the original text, as here cited, and may be accounted for: instead of "fear the Lord", it is "worship the Lord"; and the one well explains the other; the fear of God being often, in Scripture, put for the whole worship of God, both internal and external: and in the next clause, the word "only" is added by Christ, as expressing the true sense of it, and agreeably to other places of Scripture, particularly 1 Samuel 7:3,
1 Samuel 7:3- :.
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 âtriedâ 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 âafterwardâ subjected to temptations by Satan, but no âparticularâ 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 âentangle him,â 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 âallâ 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 âinfluenceâ or direction of the Spirit.
A fame - A report. See Matthew 4:24.
