In the Greek, "γέγραπται" (gegraptai) is used, which is in the perfect tense, indicating a completed action with ongoing results. This highlights the enduring nature of God's Word. Jesus, in His temptation, relies on the written Word, demonstrating its sufficiency and authority in spiritual warfare. The phrase also connects to the Jewish tradition of oral and written Torah, emphasizing the importance of Scripture in guiding life and faith.<p><b>He will command</b><br />The Greek word "ἐντελεῖται" (enteleitai) suggests a direct and authoritative order. This reflects God's sovereign power and His active role in the protection and guidance of His people. The use of this word indicates that God's commands are not passive suggestions but active decrees that are carried out by His creation, including His angels.<p><b>His angels</b><br />The term "ἀγγέλους" (angelous) refers to messengers or agents of God. In the biblical context, angels are spiritual beings created by God to serve Him and execute His will. They are often depicted as protectors and warriors, emphasizing their role in God's divine plan. The mention of angels here reassures believers of God's provision and protection through His heavenly hosts.<p><b>Concerning you</b><br />This phrase personalizes the promise, indicating that God's care and protection are directed towards the individual. The Greek "περὶ σοῦ" (peri sou) suggests a specific and intimate concern for the believer. It reflects the personal relationship God has with His people, where His attention and care are not generic but tailored to each person's needs and circumstances.<p><b>To guard you carefully</b><br />The Greek word "διαφυλάξαι" (diaphylaxai) means to keep safe or preserve. This implies a vigilant and continuous protection. The use of "carefully" emphasizes the thoroughness and attentiveness of God's guardianship. In the historical context, this reflects the ancient understanding of divine protection, where God's presence was seen as a shield against physical and spiritual harm. This assurance of protection is a source of comfort and strength for believers, encouraging them to trust in God's unfailing care.<span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/4-10.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">For</span><br /><span class="grk">γὰρ</span> <span class="translit">(gar)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_1063.htm">Strong's 1063: </a> </span><span class="str2">For.
