The Greek word for "all" (πάντα, panta) emphasizes the totality of what is being offered. Satan is presenting himself as having authority over the kingdoms of the world, which he claims he can bestow upon Jesus. Historically, this reflects the common belief in the ancient world that earthly kingdoms were under the influence of spiritual powers. Theologically, this temptation challenges Jesus' mission and identity, as it offers a shortcut to power without the suffering of the cross.<p><b>he said</b><br />The Greek verb "said" (εἶπεν, eipen) is in the aorist tense, indicating a past action. This highlights the historical nature of the event, grounding it in a specific moment of Jesus' life. The use of direct speech here emphasizes the personal and confrontational nature of the temptation. It is a direct challenge to Jesus' divine mission and authority.<p><b>if you will fall down and worship me</b><br />The condition "if" (ἐὰν, ean) introduces a conditional clause, presenting a choice to Jesus. The act of "falling down" (πεσὼν, pesōn) and "worship" (προσκυνήσῃς, proskynēsēs) are significant. In the ancient Near East, prostration was a common act of homage and submission to a superior. Theologically, this temptation is profound because it directly opposes the first commandment, which is to worship God alone. Satan's demand for worship is a usurpation of God's rightful place, and it reveals the ultimate goal of Satan's temptations: to divert worship from God to himself. This moment underscores the spiritual battle between the kingdom of God and the kingdom of darkness, highlighting Jesus' role as the obedient Son who remains faithful to His Father.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/matthew/4.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(9) <span class= "bld">All these things will I give thee.</span>--St. Luke's addition, "For that is (has been) delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will I give it," is full of significance. The offer made by the Tempter rested on the apparent evidence of the world's history. The rulers of the world, its Herods and its Caesars, seemed to have attained their eminence by trampling the laws of God under foot, and accepting Evil as the Lord and Master of the world. In part, the claim is allowed by our Lord's language and that of his Apostles. Satan is "the prince of this world" (<a href="/john/12-31.htm" title="Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.">John 12:31</a>; <a href="/john/14-30.htm" title="Hereafter I will not talk much with you: for the prince of this world comes, and has nothing in me.">John 14:30</a>). His hosts are "the world-rulers (<span class= "greekheb">????????</span>?<span class= "greekheb">?????</span>) of darkness" (<a href="/ephesians/6-12.htm" title="For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.">Ephesians 6:12</a>). In this case the temptation is no longer addressed to the sense of Sonship, but to the love of power. To be a King like other kings, mighty to deliver His people from their oppressors, and achieve the glory which the prophets had predicted for the Christ;--this was possible for Him if only He would go beyond the self-imposed limits of accepting whatsoever His Father ordered for Him.<p><span class= "bld">Wilt fall down and worship me.</span>--The latter word properly expresses, as apparently throughout the New Testament, the homage offered to a king rather than the adoration due to God.<p><div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/matthew/4.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div><span class="cmt_sub_title">Verse 9.</span> - <span class="cmt_word">All these things will I give thee</span> (<span class="greek">ταῦτά σοι πάντα δώσω</span>). The devil puts "these things" and "thee" in the sharpest contrast. In Luke the devil says, "To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it [<span class="accented">i.e.</span> the authority] hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it;" <span class="accented">i.e.</span> there the devil speaks of giving, not actual possession of the things themselves (Matthew), but the authority that this implied, "and the glory of them." According to St. Luke, he does not attempt to conceal the fact that he has not absolute possession, but he claims authority as delegated to him, and as capable of being delegated by him to another. His claim was false as absolutely stated, but is true relatively in so far that even his usurpation of power must have been permitted (cf. our Lord's term for him, "The prince of this world"). <span class="cmt_word">If thou wilt fall down and worship me;</span> <span class="accented">i.e.</span> prostrate thyself in obeisance before me - the Eastern method of acknowledging the superiority of a person (cf. <a href="/genesis/23-7.htm">Genesis 23:7</a>; <a href="/1_samuel/20-41.htm">1 Samuel 20:41</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/1-2.htm">2 Samuel 1:2</a>; <a href="/2_samuel/9-6.htm">2 Samuel 9:6</a>). The expression does not mean "worship me as God" (for this surely was far too coarse a temptation to overcome any even ordinarily pious Israelite; cf. Weiss), but "acknowledge my rights as over-lord." It is not a question of apostasy (<a href="/1_kings/18-21.htm">1 Kings 18:21</a>; cf. <a href="/joshua/24-15.htm">Joshua 24:15</a>), but of submission to the methods inculcated by Satan, which placed the immediate and the visible above the future and the unseen (<a href="/genesis/3-5.htm">Genesis 3:5</a>; <a href="/exodus/32-4.htm">Exodus 32:4</a>). <span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/matthew/4-9.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">“All</span><br /><span class="grk">πάντα</span> <span class="translit">(panta)</span><br /><span class="parse">Adjective - Accusative Neuter Plural<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_3956.htm">Strong's 3956: </a> </span><span class="str2">All, the whole, every kind of.
