This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Mat 4:7. Πάλιν γέγραπταί, it is written again) Although Satan retorted the phrase, “It is written,” Jesus does not suffer it to be forcibly taken from Him as something trite, but employs it three times. Scripture is to be interpreted and reconciled by Scripture.-οὐκ ἐκπειράσεις, κ.τ.λ.) thou shall not tempt, etc.-Thus the LXX. in Deu 6:16. According to the usage of those interpreters, ἐκπειράζειν is not a word of stronger signification than πειράζειν.-Jesus, however, means, “It is not Mine to provoke God by tempting Him.”-Κύριον, the Lord) This is put as a proper name.
