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).

7 If therefore *thou* wilt do homage before me, all [of it] shall be thine.

8 And Jesus answering him said, It is written, Thou shalt do homage to [the] Lord thy God, and him alone shalt thou serve.

9 And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the edge of the temple, and said to him, If thou be Son of God, cast thyself down hence;

10 for it is written, He shall give charge to his angels concerning thee to keep thee;

11 and on [their] hands shall they bear thee, lest in any wise thou strike thy foot against a stone.
