Luke 4:11-13
New English Translation

11 and ‘with their hands they will lift you up, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”[a] 12 Jesus[b] answered him,[c] “It is said, ‘You are not to put the Lord your God to the test.’”[d] 13 So[e] when the devil[f] had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time.[g]

Footnotes

  1. Luke 4:11 sn A quotation from Ps 91:12.
  2. Luke 4:12 tn Grk “And Jesus.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.
  3. Luke 4:12 tn Grk “Jesus, answering, said to him.” This is redundant in English and has been simplified to “Jesus answered him.”
  4. Luke 4:12 sn A quotation from Deut 6:16 used by Jesus in reply to the devil. The point is that God’s faithfulness should not be put to the test, but is rather a given.
  5. Luke 4:13 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary.
  6. Luke 4:13 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the devil) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  7. Luke 4:13 tn Grk “until a favorable time.”sn Until a more opportune time. Though some have argued that the devil disappears until Luke 22:3, this is unlikely since the cosmic battle with Satan and all the evil angels is consistently mentioned throughout Luke (8:26-39; 11:14-23).
