Greek Commentary for Matthew 4:10
The words “behind me” The devil as the lord of the evil world constantly tries to win men to the service of the world and God. This is his chief camouflage for destroying a preacher‘s power for God. The word here in Matthew 4:10 for serve is λατρις latreuseis from latris a hired servant, one who works for hire, then render worship. [source]

Mark has προσεκύνησεν , which often implies religious or superstitious feeling, as Matthew 4:9, Matthew 4:10. This is the prostration of abject terror. [source]
Satan used this verb to Jesus who turns it against him by the quotation from Deuteronomy 6:13. Jesus clearly perceived that one could not worship both Satan and God. He had to choose whom he would serve. Luke does not give the words, “Get thee hence, Satan” (Matthew 4:10), for he has another temptation to narrate. [source]
The verb λατρευω latreuō is used of the worship of God (Matthew 4:10) as well as of idols as here (from λατρον latron hire, λατρις latris hireling, then to serve). But the worship of the host of heaven (Deuteronomy 17:3; 2 Kings 17:16; 2 Kings 21:3; 2 Chronicles 33:3, 2 Chronicles 33:5; Jeremiah 8:2; Jeremiah 19:13) is Sabaism or worship of the host That is the twelve minor prophets which the Jews counted as one book (cf. Acts 13:40). This quotation is from Amos 5:25-27. The greater prophets were Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel. Slain beasts Here only in the N.T. (from Amos 5:25) σπαγη sphagē slaughter, σπαζω sphazō to slay. [source]

Dative case with λατρευω latreuō (present active indicative, old verb, originally to serve for hire λατρον latron then service in general, then religious service to God, Matthew 4:10, then in particular ritual worship of the priests, Hebrews 8:5). All the redeemed are priests (Revelation 16:5, Revelation 16:10) in the heavenly temple (Revelation 6:9) as here. But this service is that of spiritual worship, not of external rites (Romans 12:1; Philemon 3:3).Day and night (ημερας και νυκτος hēmeras kai nuktos).

In Revelation 12:12; Revelation 13:6 of those who dwell in tents, here of God spreading his tent “over” (επ αυτους ep' autous) the redeemed in heaven, in Revelation 21:3 of God tabernacling “with” (μετ αυτων met' autōn) the redeemed, in both instances a picture of sacred fellowship, and “the further idea of God‘s Presence as a protection from all fear of evil” (Swete) like the overshadowing of Israel by the Shekinah and a possible allusion also to the tents (σκηναι skēnai) of the feast of tabernacles and to the tent of meeting where God met Moses (Exodus 33:7-11).
