Luke 4:3

Context
4:3 The devil said to him, “If 1  you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 2 

Luke 4:13

Context
4:13 So 3  when the devil 4  had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time. 5 

1 tn This is a first class condition: “If (and let’s assume that you are) the Son of God…”

2 tn Grk “say to this stone that it should become bread.”

3 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary.

4 tn Grk “he”; the referent (the devil) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

5 tn Grk “until a favorable time.”

sn Until a more opportune time. Though some have argued that the devil disappears until Luke 22:3, this is unlikely since the cosmic battle with Satan and all the evil angels is consistently mentioned throughout Luke (8:26-39; 11:14-23).
