The Temptation of Christ
“耶穌被聖靈充滿,從約旦河回來,聖靈將他引到曠野, 四十天受魔鬼的試探。那些日子沒有吃甚麼;日子滿了,他就餓了。 魔鬼對他說:「你若是神的兒子,可以吩咐這塊石頭變成食物。」 耶穌回答說:「 經上 記着說:『人活着不是單靠食物, 乃是靠神口裏所出的一切話 。』」 魔鬼又領他上了 高山 ,霎時間把天下的萬國都指給他看, 對他說:「這一切權柄、榮華,我都要給你,因為這原是交付我的,我願意給誰就給誰。 你若在我面前下拜,這都要歸你。」 耶穌說:「 經上 記着說: 當拜主-你的神, 單要事奉他。」 魔鬼又領他到 耶路撒冷 去,叫他站在殿頂 上,對他說:「你若是神的兒子,可以從這裏跳下去; 因為 經上 記着說: 主要為你吩咐他的使者保護你; 他們要用手托着你, 免得你的腳碰在石頭上。」 耶穌對他說:「 經上 說:『不可試探主-你的神。』」 魔鬼用完了各樣的試探,就暫時離開耶穌。”

Luke 4:1-13
; ,
1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil.
And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry.
3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.”
4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”
5 Then the devil, taking Him up on a high mountain, showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to Him, “All this authority I will give You, and their glory; for this has been delivered to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.
7 Therefore, if You will worship before me, all will be Yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and said to him, “Get behind Me, Satan!
For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’
9 Then he brought Him to Jerusalem, set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down from here.
10 For it is written:
‘He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you,’
11 and,
‘In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.’
12 And Jesus answered and said to him, “It has been said, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”
13 Now when the devil had ended every temptation, he departed from Him until an opportune time.

The Temptation of Jesus
1 And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness 2 forty days, being tempted by the devil.
And he ate nothing during those days, and when* they were completed, he was hungry.
3 So the devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, order this stone that it become bread!” 4 And Jesus replied to him, “It is written, ‘Man will not live on bread alone.’
5 And he led him up and* showed him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
6 And the devil said to him, “I will give you all this domain and their glory, because it has been handed over to me, and I can give it to whomever I want.
7 So if you will worship before me, all this will be yours.”
8 And Jesus answered and* said to him, “It is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve only him.’
9 And he brought him to Jerusalem, and had him stand on the highest point of the temple and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down from here, 10 for it is written,
‘He will command his angels concerning you,
to protect you,’
11 and
‘on their hands they will lift you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.’
12 And Jesus answered and* said to him, “It is said, ‘You are not to put to the test the Lord your God.’ ” 13 And when* the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a favorable time.
Jesus had not started His Ministry and therefore did not have any disciple yet.
How would His disciples know of the temptation and what was said?
There was not OT scripture that prophesied His temptation?
The important words are:
Return from Jordan where Jesus was baptised and God openly affirmed to Him () that He is God’s beloved Son.
Temptations after filled with the Holy Spirit
HS lead Him to the place of temptation!
40 days
While there is
The three temptations
commencing with 3 powerful ‘If-you’s putting doubts on God’s words into our minds :
If you are the Son of God (3);
If You will worship me (7);
If you are the Son of God (9)
Fundamental needs of man: food, sex, money (or well being)
Authority or pride (power)
Testing God (unfaithfulness)
Fear God!
Jesus knew about these possible temptations (?)
Jesus knew about these possible temptations (?)
One of the temptation is a short cut to recovering the world as Jesus cried to His Father at Gethsemane (Mathew 26:36-46; ; - blood sweat described by Dr Luke)
Lessons to learn
1. Know God’s word - not by recitation alone but by understanding and meditating on it day and night!
We are so forgetful, unless we mediate on it day and night, we will misunderstand!
All of Jesus’ replies are from the Scriptures:
a)
b) Deu 6:13; 10:20
c) Deu 6:16
2. Fear God!
Fear God!
Satan never gives up!
3. Satan never gives up!
2. Satan never gives up!
4. Humility.
5. Jesus could not make any mistake.
if He did, our salvation would be futile.
We have made many mistakes even after being filled with the Holy Spirit.
Jesus’ sacrifice cleansed us from sin and the bondage of sin that we can come to God and seek His forgiveness and most important of all yield to Him much more!
6. Jesus followed the HS leading Him to temptation.
We often do not resist temptations nor even situation leading to temptations!
7. Jesus was hungry in His physical body but He was filled with the Holy Spirit - enabling Him to resist the enemy.
8. Holy Spirt does not protect you from sin.
He guides you and remind you the words of God.
It is your decision and your choice.
Comments from Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary
TEMPTATION OF JESUS.
Within the NT a narrative account of the temptation of Jesus is given in all three Synoptic Gospels (; ; ).
Reference is made to Jesus’ temptation in the letter to the Hebrews (; ), but it is otherwise passed over in silence by the NT literature.
In each of the Synoptics, the temptation narrative is an integral part of the introduction to the Gospels’ story about Jesus’ ministry.
The three accounts agree among themselves as to the place of the temptation (“the wilderness,” Gk erēmon), the role of the Spirit in leading Jesus to this place, and a 40-day duration of time, but they otherwise differ among themselves as to the details of the narrative.
The three accounts even identify the tempter in different fashions: “the tempter” (ho peirazōn) in Matt; “the Satan” (ho Satan) in Mark; and “the devil” (ho diabolos) in Luke.
A. The Synoptic Problem
Discussion as to the literary relationship among the three accounts is an integral part of the Synoptic problem.
Proponents of the two-source theory generally hold that the Markan account enjoys literary priority vis-à-vis the other accounts, that Matthew’s account largely stems from the Q source, and that Luke’s account is a conflation of Markan and Q material.
Other scholars would take issue with each of these three positions.
Wilhelm Wilkens (1982), for example, has argued that the Matthean account is a creation of Matthew, who was then followed by Luke.
Scholars who admit the dependence of the Matthean and Lukan accounts upon Q disagree as to whether Matthew or Luke more faithfully reproduces the Q sequence of three temptations.
The majority believe that the Matthean order (bread-temple-kingdoms) better reflects Q than does the Lukan order (bread-kingdoms-temple).
That Matthew’s order is more logical, leading to the issue of sovereignty as its climax (), and that he juxtaposes the two similarly structured temptations (bread-temple) are among the principal reasons in favor of the Matthean sequence.
On the other hand it is noted that Luke’s sequence has a topographical schema and brings the series of temptations to their conclusion in Jerusalem, features of the narrative which are consistent with Lukan interests and his redactional techniques.
B.
The relatively simple Markan account () bears the imprint of Mark’s editorial work and is characterized by its christological context.
