This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

Note first, that though the devil abused scripture, yet Christ uses it. Good things are never the worse for being abused by Satan and his instruments.

Note secondly, the weapon which our Saviour made use of to vanquish Satan; it was the word of God: It is written, says Christ.

Learn thence, that the scripture, or the written word of God, is the only sure weapon wherewith to vanquish Satan, and beat back all his fiery temptations. The scripture is God's armory, out of which all our weapons of war must be taken, for managing our conflict with sin and Satan.
