马太福音 4章6节 到 4章6节     上一笔  下一笔
 {Cast thyself down} (ale seauton kat(935c)). The appeal to hurl
himself down into the abyss below would intensify the nervous
dread that most people feel at such a height. The devil urged
presumptuous reliance on God and quotes Scripture to support his
view ( Ps 91:11f. ). So the devil quotes the Word of God,
misinterprets it, omits a clause, and tries to trip the Son of
God by the Word of God. It was a skilful thrust and would also be
accepted by the populace as proof that Jesus was the Messiah if
they should see him sailing down as if from heaven. This would be
a sign from heaven in accord with popular Messianic expectation.
The promise of the angels the devil thought would reassure Jesus.
They would be a spiritual parachute for Christ.
