Study Bible

Book ◦ Chapter

But Jesus answered
In this passage, Jesus is responding to the devil during His temptation in the wilderness. This encounter occurs after Jesus has fasted for forty days and nights, a period that mirrors the 40 years the Israelites spent in the desert. Jesus' response is significant as it demonstrates His reliance on Scripture to counter temptation, setting an example for believers. His use of Scripture highlights the importance of knowing and applying God's Word in spiritual battles.

It also says
Jesus refers to the written Word of God, emphasizing the authority and sufficiency of Scripture. By saying "it also says," He acknowledges the comprehensive nature of God's Word, which provides guidance for all aspects of life. This phrase underscores the importance of interpreting Scripture with Scripture, ensuring a balanced understanding of God's commands and promises.

‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’
This quote is fromDeuteronomy 6:16, where Moses warns the Israelites not to test God as they did at Massah. At Massah, the Israelites doubted God's provision and presence, demanding water and questioning His care for them. Jesus uses this command to reject the devil's challenge to throw Himself from the temple pinnacle, which would have been a presumptuous act demanding a miraculous sign from God. This highlights the principle of trusting God's faithfulness without requiring Him to prove Himself through extraordinary means. It also reflects Jesus' role as the obedient Son, fulfilling the law and succeeding where Israel failed.

Pulpit Commentary

Verse 12. -And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. It is remarkable that in these crowning instances of temptation, which no doubt were originally recounted by the Lord himself to the inner circle of the disciples, and from them passed into the regular course of instruction adopted by the Christian teachers of the first days, the Redeemer, in each of his three answers to the devil, uses words taken from two chapters (the sixth and eighth) of Deuteronomy. It has been suggested that the thoughts and expressions of this book were fresh in the mind of the tempted Christ, as he had probably, specially during his sojourn in the wilderness, used for his own study and meditation a book which told the story of Israel's wanderings in the desert for forty years. It seems, however, more likely that the Lord simply chose to frame his answers from a book with which every Israelite from his earliest yearn had been acquainted. The maxims and precepts of Deuteronomy were used in the education of every Hebrew child. Its devout and beautiful maxims were written on the phylacteries or frontiers which so many pious Jews were in the habit of wearing.
