SOTN 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 4:5–7

In this paragraph, Matthew reported the second way that the devil tempted Jesus. In this paragraph, the devil tempted Jesus to put himself in danger. If Jesus had put himself in danger, he would have been testing God to save him from danger. This would have been a sinful thing for Jesus to do.

4:6a

“If You are the Son of God,” he said, “throw Yourself down.

He said, “If you really/truly are the Son of God, jump down from here.
He said to him, “If it is true that you are God’s Son, jump off of this tower/roof to the ground!
He told Jesus to prove that he was the child of God by jumping to the ground.

“If You are the Son of God,” he said: The BSB places the words he said in the middle of what the devil said. This is good English style. However, in some languages it may be more natural to put these words at the beginning of 4:6a. For example:

and said to him, “If you are the Son of God…” (ESV)

If You are the Son of God: These words are the same words as in 4:3b. You should translate it the same way as you did there.

throw Yourself down: The phrase throw Yourself down means “leap off,” “jump down,” or “make yourself fall down.” Normally someone who jumped from such a great height would hit the ground and die. The devil tempted Jesus to sin by taking this unnecessary risk in order to prove who he was and that God would protect him.

Here are some other ways to translate this phrase:

jump off (NLT)

jump down (NCV)

jump and fall to the ground

4:6b

For it is written:

The Scriptures say,
You will not be hurt, because it is written in the Scriptures,
He said that he/Jesus would not be injured, because God’s book says that

For: The Greek conjunction that the BSB here translates as For also means “because.” It introduces the reason clause (4:6b) of a reason-result statement. The result is implied. The implied information is: “You will not be injured.”

result (implied)	You will not be hurt,
reason (4:6c)	for/because God will command his angels to protect you.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

Include the implied information and the conjunction “because.” For example:
You will not be hurt for/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…. (GW)

it is written: The phrase it is written again introduces a quotation from the Old Testament Scriptures. The quotation is from Psalm 91:11–12. See how you translated this phrase in 4:4.

4:6c

‘He will command His angels concerning You,

‘God will give orders to his angels about you^(sing).
‘God will order his angels to protect you^(sing).
God will tell his angels to protect/help him.

He will command His angels concerning You: The clause He will command His angels concerning You means that God will give his angels a command/order about Jesus. This implies that God will order his angels to protect Jesus.

Here are some other ways to translate this clause:

God will give orders to his angels about you (GNT)

He will order his angels to protect you (NLT)

His angels: See how you translated the word angel in 1:20 or 2:19. Also, see angel, Meaning 1, in the Glossary for more information.

4:6d

and they will lift You up in their hands,

They will hold you^(sing) up with their hands
They will support you^(sing)
They will carry him

and they will lift You up in their hands: This clause means “the angels will carry/support you.”

The devil was quoting Psalm 91:12. In that verse, angels lift up someone so that he will not hit his feet on the stones and stumble as he walks. But here, the devil applied this verse to mean that if Jesus jumped down, the angels would catch him before he hit the ground.

Because the devil was quoting from Psalm 91:12, you should use a verb from your language that fits the context of the psalm. Use a verb that means “carry” or “support.” Do not use a verb like “catch.” For example:

they will hold you up with their hands (GNT)

They will carry you in their arms (NJB)

with their hands they will lift you up (NET)

in their hands: In some languages, it will be more natural to translate this phrase as “in/on their arms.” For example:

in their arms (NJB)

In some languages, the phrase in their hands is implied by the verb used to translate “lift You up.” If that is true in your language, you do not need to translate this phrase explicitly.

4:6e

so that You will not strike Your foot against a stone.’”

so that you^(sing) will not hit your foot on a stone!’ ”
so that your feet will not be injured on the rocks.’ ”
so that his feet will not even be hurt on a stone.

so that: The Greek conjunction that the BSB translates as so that links two actions.This Greek conjunction mēpote marks negative purpose. One action prevents the other action from happening. The purpose for which the angels carried someone (4:6d) was to prevent that person from being harmed (4:6e).

In this context, the devil quoted the psalm to say that angels would protect Jesus. They would protect him so that he would not be harmed if he jumped from the temple.

Here are some other ways to translate this:

in order that you not injure your foot

to prevent your foot from hitting a stone

You will not strike Your foot against a stone: The phrase strike Your foot against a stone means “hit a stone” or “stumble over a stone.” Psalm 91:12 describes someone who is walking along a path. As he walks, God’s angels protect him from hitting his foot on a stone, stumbling, falling down, and hurting himself.

Satan quoted this psalm to mean that Jesus would not be injured if he jumped from the top of the temple. But because the devil was quoting from Psalm 91:12, you should use a verb from your language that fits the context of the psalm. If possible, use a verb that can refer to both stumbling on a stone and hitting a stone. For example:

your foot will not hit a rock/stone

not even your feet will be hurt on the stones (GNT)

General Comment on 4:6b–e

In some languages, it may be more natural to translate the quotation from the Scriptures as indirect speech. For example:

^6bThe Scriptures say that ^6cGod will order his angels to protect him. ^6dThey will lift him up in their hands, ^6eso that he does not strike his foot against a stone.

The devil is suggesting that this is a hypothetical condition, that the angels will only rescue Jesus if Jesus is the Son of God. The devil is speaking as if it is uncertain who Jesus is in order to challenge him to throw himself down to prove that he really is the Son of God. Use a natural form in your language for introducing something that could be true. Alternate translation: [Prove that you are the Son of God by throwing yourself down]

In Matthew’s culture, for it is written was a normal way to introduce a quotation from an important text, in this case, the Old Testament book of Psalms (see [Psalm 91:11–12](../psa/91/11.md)).
