Matthew 4:6
_ _ And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God — As this temptation starts with the same point as the first — our Lord’s determination not to be disputed out of His Sonship — it seems to us clear that the one came directly after the other; and as the remaining temptation shows that the hope of carrying that point was abandoned, and all was staked upon a desperate venture, we think that remaining temptation is thus shown to be the last; as will appear still more when we come to it.
_ _ cast thyself down — “from hence” (Luke 4:9).
_ _ for it is written — (Psalms 91:11, Psalms 91:12). “But what is this I see?” exclaims stately Bishop Hall. “Satan himself with a Bible under his arm and a text in his mouth!” Doubtless the tempter, having felt the power of God’s Word in the former temptation, was eager to try the effect of it from his own mouth (2 Corinthians 11:14).
_ _ He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands — rather, “on their hands.”
_ _ they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone — The quotation is, precisely as it stands in the Hebrew and the Septuagint, save that after the first clause the words, “to keep thee in all thy ways,” are here omitted. Not a few good expositors have thought that this omission was intentional, to conceal the fact that this would not have been one of “His ways,” that is, of duty. But as our Lord’s reply makes no allusion to this, but seizes on the great principle involved in the promise quoted, so when we look at the promise itself, it is plain that the sense of it is precisely the same whether the clause in question be inserted or not. |
Matthew 4:6
In their hands — That is, with great care. Psalms 91:11-12. |
- for:
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
2 Corinthians 11:14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

- He shall:
Psalms 91:11-12 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. ... They shall bear thee up in [their] hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.
Luke 4:9-12 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and set him on a pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence: ... And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

- lest:
Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 5:23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Psalms 34:20 He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken.
