Commentaries on Matthew 4:11

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.

• 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
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 11Then the devil left Him: Jesus rejected Satan. 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.
