Luke:4:1-13
Seeker Overlay ON
*
And (
note :)
Christ ,
being carried away (
as it were out of the world )
into the desert ,
comes suddenly as if from heaven ,
having fasted for forty days and overcoming Satan three times ,
and thus begins his office .(:
note )
Jesus being full of the Holy Ghost returned from Jordan ,
and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness ,
*
And was there fourtie dayes tempted of the deuil , &
amp ;
in those dayes he did eate nothing :
but when they were ended ,
he afterward was hungry .
*
*
But Iesus answered him ,
saying ,
It is written ,
That man shall not liue by bread only ,
but by euery word of God .
*
Then the deuill tooke him vp into an high mountaine ,
and shewed him all the kingdomes of the world ,
in the twinkeling of an eye .
*
And the devil said unto him ,
All this (
note :)
By this word «
power »
are meant the kingdoms themselves which have the power :
and so this is said using the figure of speech metonymy .(:
note )
power will I give thee ,
and the glory of them :
for that is This is surely so ,
for he is prince of the world ,
but not absolutely ,
and is the sovereign of it only by permission and request ,
and therefore he does not truly say that he can give it to whom he will .
delivered unto me ;
and to whomsoever I will I give it .
*
If thou therefore wilt worship me ,
all shall be (
note :)
Out of a high place ,
from which would be seen a good and first-class country ,
and thus the devil showed him all countries .(:
note )
thine .
*
But Iesus answered him ,
and saide ,
Hence from mee ,
Satan :
for it is written ,
Thou shalt worship the Lorde thy God ,
and him alone thou shalt serue .
*
Then hee brought him to Hierusalem ,
and set him on a pinacle of the Temple ,
and said vnto him ,
If thou be the Sonne of God ,
cast thy selfe downe from hence ,
*
For it is written ,
That hee will giue his Angels charge ouer thee to keepe thee :
*
And with their handes they shall lift thee vp ,
least at any time thou shouldest dash thy foote against a stone .
*
And Iesus answered ,
and said vnto him ,
It is said ,
Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God .
*
And when the deuil had ended all the tentation ,
he departed from him for a litle season .
