Study Notes

angels (See Scofield " Hebrews 1:4 ") .
to keep After Satan's failure to tempt the Lord away from the Word, he seeks to tempt Him by it. He however misquotes by the omission of "in all thy ways" Psalms 91:11 . The Lord's "ways" were those marked out for Him in perfect dependence upon His Father's will; cf. Hebrews 10:7 ; Hebrews 10:9 .

Context Summary

Luke 4:1-13 - The Threefold Temptation
As the waters of Jordan bisect the Holy Land, so does our Lord's baptism bisect His holy life. In that act He had identified Himself with the world's sin; and now, as the High Priest who was to deal with sin and sinners, He must be "in all points" tempted and tested "like as we are."
He took into the wilderness a perfect humanity of flesh and blood, made in all points like His brethren, though without sin. He elected to fight His great fight, not by the use of the divine attributes, but as Son of man. Where the first Adam fell, the second must stand.
First, He could not use His native power for His own gratification. Second, He would abide strictly within the limitations of the world He had entered, Hebrews 2:16-17. Third, He would win His kingdom by the Cross. [source]

Greek Commentary for Luke 4:10

To keep [διαφυλάξαι]
Only here in New Testament. Better as Rev., guard. See on 1 Peter 1:4:. The preposition implies close, careful guarding. The phrase, to guard thee, is wanting in Matthew. [source]
