In this phrase, Jesus is directly addressing Satan during the temptation in the wilderness. This command demonstrates Jesus' authority over Satan, affirming His divine power and the ultimate victory over evil. The use of "Away from Me" signifies a rejection of Satan's temptations and a refusal to engage with his deceit. This moment is pivotal as it shows Jesus' commitment to His mission and His resistance to sin, setting an example for believers. The confrontation echoes the spiritual battle between good and evil, highlighting the reality of spiritual warfare."Jesus told him." This indicates that Jesus is speaking directly to Satan, emphasizing the personal nature of the confrontation. It underscores Jesus' role as the Son of God who has come to defeat the works of the devil. The personal address also reflects the intimate knowledge Jesus has of His adversary, as well as His confidence in His identity and mission. This moment is a fulfillment of the prophecy in <a href="/genesis/3-15.htm">Genesis 3:15</a>, where the seed of the woman is foretold to crush the serpent's head."For it is written:" Jesus uses Scripture as His defense against temptation, demonstrating the authority and sufficiency of God's Word. This phrase introduces a quotation from the Old Testament, showing Jesus' deep knowledge of Scripture and His reliance on it as the foundation for His actions and decisions. It serves as a model for believers to use Scripture in spiritual battles and to understand the importance of knowing and applying God's Word in their lives."Worship the Lord your God" This part of the verse is a direct quotation from <a href="/deuteronomy/6-13.htm">Deuteronomy 6:13</a>, which is part of the Shema, a central declaration of faith in Judaism. It emphasizes the exclusive worship and reverence due to God alone, rejecting any form of idolatry or allegiance to other powers. In the context of Jesus' temptation, it highlights the importance of prioritizing God above all else, including power, wealth, or earthly kingdoms. This commandment is foundational to the covenant relationship between God and His people."and serve Him only." The call to serve God exclusively reinforces the theme of loyalty and devotion to God. It implies that true worship is not just about reverence but also about obedience and service. This phrase challenges believers to examine their own lives for any divided loyalties or distractions that might lead them away from wholehearted service to God. It also connects to the broader biblical narrative of God's people being called to serve Him faithfully, as seen throughout the history of Israel and the teachings of Jesus.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> The central figure in this passage, Jesus is the Son of God who is being tempted by Satan in the wilderness.

No evidence of power could change the eternal laws of duty. There came to the Son of Man the old command, "Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God," as an oracle from heaven, and this, rather than an attempt to refute the claim of sovereignty, was that on which He took His stand. Others, dealing with the same temptation, as the writers of the Book of Job and of Psalms 73, have discussed the question of the apparent triumph of evil in the world's history, and have pointed to its ultimate downfall, to the sure though slow retribution which even that history records, to the redress of the anomalies of this life in a life beyond the grave. Here we have a truer and simpler answer. Even though they cannot solve the problem, the true wisdom of men who follow in the footsteps of Christ is to recognise that their allegiance is due to God and to Him only. Here, once more, the truth thus affirmed reappears later on. When the chief of the Apostles sought to turn his Master from the appointed path of suffering, he was met, as renewing the same form of temptation which had been thus resisted, with the self-same words. Even Peter had to hear himself rebuked with "Get thee behind me, Satan" (<a href="/matthew/16-23.htm" title="But he turned, and said to Peter, Get you behind me, Satan: you are an offense to me: for you mind not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.">Matthew 16:23</a>). The use of the formula here, for the first time in the conflict, is significant as implying that in the previous temptations Evil had presented itself in disguise, making sins of distrust appear as acts of faith, while now it showed itself in its naked and absolute antagonism to the divine will.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verse 10. - Get thee hence, Satan. "Avaunt, Satan" (Rheims). Christ does not address him directly till this climax. The two previous temptations were, comparatively speaking, ordinary and limited. This temptation calls out a passionate utterance of a personality stirred, because touched, in its depths. Only once again do we find our Lord so moved, in <a href="/matthew/16-23.htm">Matthew 16:23</a> (the "Western" and "Syrian" addition here of ὀπίσω μου from that passage emphasizes the feeling common to the two cases), when a similar representation is made to him that he ought to escape the troubles which his Messianic position, in fact, brought upon him. For it is written (<a href="/deuteronomy/6-13.htm">Deuteronomy 6:13</a>); from the LXX., which differs from the Hebrew by (1) translating תירא, "fear," by προσκυνήσεις (but B has φοβηθήσῃ); and (2) the paraphrastic insertion of "only." Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve. Worship; προσκυνέω) , as in ver. 9. Serve; λατρεύω, "in perfect subjection to a sovereign power" (Bishop Westcott on <a href="/hebrews/8-2.htm">Hebrews 8:2</a>, Add. Note). Our Lord's reply cuts up the devil's solicitation by the root. "I do not enter," he means, "into the question of thy authority over these things, and of thy power concerning them. I acknowledge thee not. The command which I willingly obey excludes all homage and service to any other over-lord than God alone. I accept not thy orders and thy methods. I take my commands direct from God." Observe that our Lord does not say how he is to gain the kingdoms for his own; this would be the care of him whose command he follows. But before ascending, the Lord proclaimed (<a href="/matthew/28-18.htm">Matthew 28:18</a>) that he had received (i.e. gained through suffering, <a href="/hebrews/2-10.htm">Hebrews 2:10</a>: <a href="/philippians/2-9.htm">Philippians 2:9</a>) more than (note "in heaven") what the devil would have given him as a reward of obedience to false principles. <a href="/commentaries/matthew/4-10.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>“Away from me, Ὕπαγε (Hypage) Verb - Present Imperative Active - 2nd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_5217.htm">Strong's 5217: </a> To go away, depart, begone, die.
