Notes

1. In the first temptation Satan appealed to the appetite of Christ under the most trying circumstances. Jesus would not work a miracle to relieve himself, but endured it as a man who could not work a miracle, but simply trust God.

2. In the second temptation Satan says: Now in the first temptation you trusted God; you were right in so doing. Now I want you to do the same here, and trust him still further. Thus he seeks to lead Jesus into presumption, just where many men fall, for the land of presumption borders on the pathway of trust.

3. In the third temptation Satan appeals to man's love for glory and power, and seeks to add strength to this by reminding Jesus that he has come here to die to obtain all this, but to obtain which he offers an easier way. Worship me and you shall have it.

4. According to , Adam, by obeying Satan, became his servant, and his possessions, with himself, passed into the hands of his new master.
