Lucas 4:3

3 —Si eres el Hijo de Dios —le propuso el diablo—, dile a esta piedra que se convierta en pan.

Lucas 4:3 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:3

And the devil said unto him
Who now visibly appeared, and spoke unto him with an articulate voice:

if thou be the Son of God;
as has been just now declared by a voice from heaven; or seeing thou art in such a relation to God, and so equal to him, and possessed of all divine perfections, and among the rest, of almighty power; wherefore, since thou art hungry, and in a wilderness, where no food is to be had,

command this stone that it be made bread;
say but the word, and this stone, which he held out to him, or pointed at, as lying before them, or any one of the stones, which were in sight, for Matthew speaks of them in the plural number, will immediately be converted into bread, if he was what he was said to be: this he suggests might easily be effected by him, and he had no need to continue hungry.

Lucas 4:3 In-Context

1 Jesús, lleno del Espíritu Santo, volvió del Jordán y fue llevado por el Espíritu al desierto.

2 Allí estuvo cuarenta días y fue tentado por el diablo. No comió nada durante esos días, pasados los cuales tuvo hambre.

3 —Si eres el Hijo de Dios —le propuso el diablo—, dile a esta piedra que se convierta en pan.

4 Jesús le respondió:—Escrito está: “No solo de pan vive el hombre”.

5 Entonces el diablo lo llevó a un lugar alto y le mostró en un instante todos los reinos del mundo.
