Luke 4:9 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:9

And he brought him to Jerusalem
The holy city, as Matthew calls it, from the wilderness thither; where he found him, and first attacked him, and perhaps he brought him through the air: and set him on a pinnacle of the temple; which was in Jerusalem; (See Gill on Matthew 4:6).

And said unto him, if thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down from
hence;
from the pinnacle of the temple, on which he was set; (See Gill on Matthew 4:6).

Luke 4:9 In-Context

7 So if you will worship me, it will all be yours."
8 Yeshua answered him, "The Tanakh says, `Worship ADONAI your God and serve him only.'"
9 Then he took him to Yerushalayim, set him on the highest point of the Temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, jump from here!
10 For the Tanakh says, `He will order his angels to be responsible for you and to protect you.
11 They will support you with their hands, so that you will not hurt your feet on the stones.'"
