Chapter 4 1-4. See EGW comment on Matthew 4:1-4.{5BC 1119.8}1-13. See EGW comment on Matthew 4:1-11; 2:1, 2.{5BC 1119.9}2. See EGW comment on Matthew 4:1, 2.{5BC 1119.10}5-8 (Matthew 4:8-10). Satan Tried to Make a Contract With Christ—[Luke 4:5-8 quoted.] This presumptuous blasphemy, and insult to Jehovah, excited the indignation of Christ, and led Him to exercise His divine authority, and command Satan in an authoritative, dignified manner to desist. Here Satan, in his pride and arrogance, declared himself to be the rightful and permanent ruler of the world, the possessor of all its glory, as though he had created the world and all the riches and glory contained in it. He endeavored to make a special contract with Christ, to make over to Him at once the whole of his claim, if He would worship him.{5BC 1119.11}

5-8 (Matt. 4,8-10). Satan prøvede at stå Kristus imod. - [Luk. 4,5-8 citeret.] Denne formastelige bespottelse og forhånelse mod Jehova, oprørte Kristi harme, og ledte ham til at udøve Sin guddommelige autoritet, og befalede Satan på en autoritativ og ophøjet måde at holde op. Her erklærede Satan i sin stolthed og arrogance, at han selv var retfærdighed og verdens endelige hersker, i besiddelse af al sin herlighed, som om han havde skabt verden og alle dens rigdomme og herlighed. Han dristede sig til en særlig kontakt med Kristus, for at straks overgive alt det han gjorde krav på til Ham, hvis Han ville tilbede ham.
