Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still very early looks into the unfinished texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

SOTN SIL Open Translator’s Notes:

Section 4:1–13: Satan tempted Jesus

In this section, Luke wrote that the devil (Satan) tempted Jesus, that is, the devil tried to persuade Jesus to do things that God did not want Jesus to do. Luke told about three of those things. Jesus did not do any of the things that the devil suggested. He refused the devil and his temptations by quoting the word of God from the book of Deuteronomy.

Some other possible headings for this section are:

The Temptation of Jesus

Jesus Is Tempted by the Devil (NCV)

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

Paragraph 4:9–12

In this paragraph, Luke reported another way that the devil tempted Jesus.Luke chose to report this temptation last in the series of three, but Matthew reports it second. The order in which Matthew reported these three temptations is probably the order in which they actually occurred. In this paragraph, the devil tempted Jesus to put himself in danger. If Jesus had put himself in danger, he would have sinned, because he would have tested God.

Then: The Greek word that the BSB translates as Then is a common connecting word. It does not necessarily imply a time reference, and so some English versions, such as the ESV, translate it as “and.” Other versions, such as the NIV, do not translate this conjunction.

The events in this paragraph may have occurred before the temptation in 4:5–8. So if it is natural in your language to begin this paragraph with a connecting word or phrase, you should be as general as possible. For example:

Also

Another time

In some languages, certain time words may not necessarily indicate that this paragraph occurred immediately after 4:5–8. If that is true in your language, a word such as Then may be appropriate. Connect 4:4a to 4:3b in a way that is natural in your language.

4:10a

For it is written:

Because it is written in the Scriptures:
For the Scriptures say:
You will not be hurt, because in the holy writings, it says,

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB here translates as For also means “because.” This conjunction introduces the reason clause (4:10a) of a reason-result statement. The result is implied. The implied information is: You will not be hurt or it will not harm you.

result (implied)	You will not be hurt,
reason (4:10b)	for/because God will tell his angels to protect you.

Some ways to translate this are:

Include the implied information and indicate the relationship with 4:10b. For example:
You will not be hurt because it is written…
It is written…, so you will not be hurt
Do not translate the conjunction, and leave the relationship implied. For example:
It is written in the Scriptures (NCV)
Scripture says

it is written: The phrase it is written again introduces a quotation from the OT Scriptures. The quotation is in 4:10b–4:11b. The quotation is from Psalm 91:11–12. (See also the note on “It is written” at 4:8a.)

4:10b

‘He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully;

‘God will tell his angels to protect you.^(sing)
‘God will order his angels to keep you^(sing) safe.
‘God will order his angels, “Keep him from any harm.”

He will command His angels concerning You to guard You carefully: This quotation is the first part of Psalm 91:11.

The pronoun You occurs twice in 4:10b. In some languages, this is not natural. If this is the case in your language, consider making concerning You implicit. For example:

God will order his angels to protect you from harm.

In some languages, it may be natural to use a direct quotation:

God will give his angels orders about you, saying, “Keep him safe.”

‘He: In this quotation the pronoun He refers to God.

angels: The word angels also occurred in 2:15a. See angel, Meaning 1, in the Glossary.

You: This is the second person singular pronoun. In Psalm 91, this pronoun refers to anyone who trusts God to protect him. The devil was applying it specifically to Jesus.

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes

γέγραπται γὰρ, ὅτι τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περὶ σοῦ, τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σε

˱it˲_˓has_been˒_written (Some words not found in SR-GNT: γέγραπται γάρ ὅτι Τοῖς ἀγγέλοις αὐτοῦ ἐντελεῖται περί σοῦ τοῦ διαφυλάξαι σέ)

If it would be helpful in your language, you could translate this so that there is not a quotation within a quotation. Alternate translation: [For it is written that he will give orders to his angels concerning you, to protect you]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

γέγραπται γὰρ

The devil implies that his quote from the Psalms means that if Jesus really is the Son of God, he will not be hurt if he jumps from this great height. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly, as UST does. Alternate translation: [You will not be hurt, because it is written]

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / activepassive

If it would be helpful in your language, you could express this with an active form, and you could state what is doing the action. Alternate translation: [the Scriptures say]
