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).
