Lukas 4:1 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 4:1

And Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost
The Spirit of God having descended on him at his baptism, and afresh anointed, and filled his human nature with his gifts, whereby, as man, he was abundantly furnished for the great work of the public ministry, he was just about to enter upon; yet must first go through a series of temptations, and which, through the fulness of the Holy Spirit in him, he was sufficiently fortified against.

Returned from Jordan;
where he came, and had been with John, and was baptized by him; which, when over, he went back from the same side of Jordan, to which he came:

and was led by the Spirit;
the same Spirit, or Holy Ghost he was full of; (See Gill on Matthew 4:1)

into the wilderness;
of Judea, which lay near Jordan, and where John had been preaching and baptizing, namely, in the habitable: part of it: but this was that part, which was uninhabited by men, and was infested with wild beasts, and where Christ could neither have the comfort and benefit of human society, nor any thing for the sustenance of life, and where he was exposed to the utmost danger; and so in circumstances very opportune and favourable for Satan to ply him with his temptations, for which purpose he was led thither.

Lukas 4:1 In-Context

1 Jesus aber, voll Heiligen Geistes, kehrte vom Jordan zurück und wurde durch den Geist in der Wüste vierzig Tage umhergeführt,
2 indem er von dem Teufel versucht wurde. Und er aß in jenen Tagen nichts; und als sie vollendet waren, hungerte ihn.
3 Und der Teufel sprach zu ihm: Wenn du Gottes Sohn bist, so sprich zu diesem Steine, daß er Brot werde.
4 Und Jesus antwortete ihm und sprach : Es steht geschrieben: "Nicht vom Brot allein soll der Mensch leben, sondern von jedem Worte Gottes".
5 Und der Teufel führte ihn auf einen hohen Berg und zeigte ihm in einem Augenblick alle Reiche des Erdkreises.
