SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–11: The devil tempted Jesus

In this section, God allowed Satan to tempt Jesus so that Jesus could show that he always obeyed his Father. The children of Israel had failed to obey God during their forty years in the wilderness. But Jesus, as the Messiah, proved his obedience to God during his forty days of fasting and temptation in the wilderness. He “passed” this test and demonstrated that he truly was the “Son of God.”

Here are some other possible headings for this section:

The temptation of Jesus

The devil tried to make Jesus sin

Jesus was tempted by the devil

There is a parallel passage for this section in Luke 4:1–11, and a shorter version occurs in Mark 1:12–13.

Paragraph 4:8–11

In this paragraph, Matthew reported the third way that the devil tempted Jesus. Here, the devil tempted Jesus to make an agreement with him. The devil asked Jesus to worship him as God, and then the devil would reward him.

4:11a

Then the devil left Him,

Then: The conjunction translated as Then is the same word as in 4:1a and 4:5a. It introduces a new development in the story. Here are some other ways to translate this word:

At that time

Next

the devil left Him: The phrase the devil left Him means that the devil went away from Jesus. He stopped troubling him for a while. For example:

the devil went away (NLT)

4:11b

and angels came and ministered to Him.

and angels came: The Greek is literally “and, behold, angels came.” The word “behold” brings attention to the words that follow. The BSB omits this word, but it often indicates something unexpected and extraordinary.

If you have a term that gets the attention of people that is natural in this context, you may want to use it here. Here are some other examples:

and suddenly angels came (NRSV)

and unexpectedly some angels came

Look! Some angels came

and ministered to Him: The Greek phrase that the BSB translates as ministered to Him means “helped him” or “took care of him.” This may have included providing Jesus with food, comfort, and protection.

Here are some other ways to translate this word:

helped him (GNT)

took care of him (NCV)

gave him the things he needed

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: translate-tense

ἀφίησιν

˓is˒_leaving

To call attention to a development in the story, Matthew uses the present tense in past narration. If it would not be natural to do that in your language, you could use the past tense in your translation. Alternate translation: [left]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

ἰδοὺ

(Some words not found in SR-GNT: Τότε ἀφίησιν αὐτόν ὁ διάβολος καί ἰδού ἄγγελοι προσῆλθον καί διηκόνουν αὐτῷ)

The word behold draws the attention of the audience and asks them to listen carefully. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express behold with a word or phrase that asks the audience to listen, or you could draw the audience’s attention in another way. Alternate translation: [take notice] or [suddenly]
