(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Had ended all the temptation

Peculiar to Luke. The verb συντελέσας, from σύν, together, and τελέω, to accomplish, means to bring to one end together; hence to bring to an end utterly. Better therefore as Rev., completed. The temptations formed a complete cycle, so that it could afterward be said of Jesus that “he was in all points tried like as we are” (Heb 4:15).

All the temptation (πάντα πειρασμὸν)

Incorrect. Rev., rightly, every temptation. So Wyc., Every temptation ended.

For a season (ἄχρι καιροῦ)

Peculiar to Luke. More strictly, until a convenient time; since Satan meant to assail him again, as he did in the person of Peter (Mar 8:33); by the Pharisees (Joh 8:40 sq.); and at Gethsemane. See Luk 22:53.
