The context is significant as it occurs right after Jesus' baptism and the Holy Spirit's descent upon Him, marking the beginning of His public ministry. The devil's challenge here is a direct attack on Jesus' mission and identity. Worship, in biblical terms, involves reverence and submission, and Satan is attempting to divert Jesus from His divine purpose by offering Him a shortcut to power and glory without the suffering of the cross. This temptation echoes the Israelites' struggles with idolatry in the Old Testament, where they often turned to false gods for immediate gratification and security.<p><b>it will all be Yours.</b><br>Satan's offer of "all the kingdoms of the world" is a deceitful promise, as he claims authority over them. This reflects the biblical understanding of Satan as the "prince of this world" (<a href="/john/12-31.htm">John 12:31</a>), who has temporary influence but not ultimate ownership. The promise of worldly power contrasts with the nature of Christ's kingdom, which is not of this world (<a href="/john/18-36.htm">John 18:36</a>). Jesus' mission was to establish a spiritual kingdom through obedience to the Father, culminating in His sacrificial death and resurrection. This temptation also parallels the promise of dominion given to Adam, which was lost through sin, and highlights Jesus as the second Adam who would reclaim and fulfill God's original intent for humanity.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jesus_christ.htm">Jesus Christ</a></b><br>The central figure in this passage, Jesus is being tempted by Satan in the wilderness after fasting for forty days and nights.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/satan.htm">Satan</a></b><br>The adversary and tempter, Satan is attempting to divert Jesus from His mission by offering Him all the kingdoms of the world in exchange for worship.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/w/wilderness.htm">Wilderness</a></b><br>The setting of this temptation, the wilderness represents a place of testing and spiritual struggle.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/k/kingdoms_of_the_world.htm">Kingdoms of the World</a></b><br>Symbolic of earthly power and glory, these are offered by Satan as a temptation to Jesus.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/t/temptation_event.htm">Temptation Event</a></b><br>This is the second of three temptations Jesus faces, highlighting His obedience and commitment to God’s will.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/t/the_nature_of_true_worship.htm">The Nature of True Worship</a></b><br>Worship is reserved for God alone.

Dr. Morrison, on <a href="/matthew/4-9.htm">Matthew 4:9</a>, has well caught the thought here. The arch-tempter "as it were said to Jesus, 'I am indeed the prince and god of this world. Its kingdoms and their glory are at my disposal. I could at once open up thy way to the highest honors that a universal conqueror and a universal sovereign could desire. I could gather at once around thee a host of devoted Jewish troops; I could pave their way for victory after victory, until at no distant period the whole Roman empire, and indeed the whole world, should be subject to thy sway. Only abandon the wild chimera of putting down sin and making all men fanatical and holy; fall in with my way of things; let the morals of the world alone, more especially its morals in reference to God; work with me and under me, and all will go well. But if thou refuse this offer, look out for determined opposition, for incessant persecution, for the most miserable poverty, and for every species of woe.'" <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/4-7.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">So</span><br /><span class="grk">οὖν</span> <span class="translit">(oun)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3767.htm">Strong's 3767: </a> </span><span class="str2">Therefore, then.
