Commentaries on Matthew 4:11

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 11Behold, angels came and ministered unto him - That is, brought that food which was necessary to support nature. The name given to Satan in the third verse is very emphatic, , the tempter, or trier, from , to pierce through. To this import of the name there seems to be an allusion, Ephesians 6:16; : The fiery Darts of the wicked one. This is the precise idea of the word in Deuteronomy 8:2. To humble thee, and to prove thee, To Know What Was In Thy Heart…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11Then the devil leaveth him - He left him for a time, Luke 4:13. He intended to return again to the temptation, and, if possible, to seduce him yet from God.

From this narrative we may learn: (a) That no one is so holy as to be free from temptation, for even the Son of God was…Read the comment

This points ahead to his later victories over demons (Matthew 12:28), Satan's defeat through the cross (Colossians 2:14–15), and the final victory at the end of time (Romans 16:20; Revelation 12:7–17; 20:2–3, 10). Angels had already been part of the Messiah's arrival and protection (Matthew 1:20, 24; 2:13, 19). Now they came and cared for Jesus after his temptation, fulfilling the Old Testament (4:6; see…Read the comment

Then the devil leaveth him--Luke says, "And when the devil had exhausted"--or "quite ended," as in Lu 4:2--"every (mode of) temptation, he departed from him till a season." The definite "season" here indicated is expressly referred to by our Lord in Joh 14:30 and Lu 22:52, 53. and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him--or supplied Him with food, as the same expression means in Mr 1:31 and Lu 8:3.
