Context of Matthew 4:10

8Again, the devil takes Him to a very high mountain and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9And he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” Then Yeshua says to him, “Go away, satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship Adonai your God, and Him only shall you serve.’” 11Then the devil leaves Him. And behold, angels came and began to take care of Him. 12Now when Yeshua heard that John had been handed over, He withdrew to the Galilee.

Commentaries on Matthew 4:10

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 10Get thee hence - Or, behind me, . This is added by a multitude of the best MSS., Versions, and Fathers. This temptation savoring of nothing but diabolical impudence, Jesus did not treat it as the others; but, with Divine authority, commanded the tempter to return to his own place. In the course of this trial, it appears that our blessed Lord was tempted, 1st. To Distrust. Command these stones to become bread. 2dly. To Presumption. Cast thyself down. 3dly…Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 10Get thee hence - These temptations, and this one especially, the Saviour met with a decided rebuke. This was a bolder attack than any which had been made before. The other temptations had been founded on an appeal to his necessities, and an offer of the protection of God in great danger; in both cases plausible, and in neither a direct violation of the law of God. Here was a higher attempt, a more decided and deadly thrust at the piety of the Saviour. It…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 1-11This story of the temptation of Jesus shows clear parallels between Adam and Jesus. Jesus is the second Adam (see Romans 5:12–19) and the second Israel (Matthew 2:15). Unlike the ancient Israelites, Jesus completed Israel’s history by wandering through the desert without sinning. He showed he was the obedient Son of God by defeating Satan in spiritual battle. Since Jesus faced temptation as a human, he can understand the temptations we encounter (see…Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1010. Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan--Since the tempter has now thrown off the mask, and stands forth in his true character, our Lord no longer deals with him as a pretended friend and pious counsellor, but calls him by his right name--His knowledge of which from the outset He had carefully concealed till now--and orders him off. This is the final and conclusive evidence, as we think, that Matthew's must be the right order of the…Read the comment
