Luke 4:13

So ¹  when the devil ²  had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time. ³ 

Mt 4:11; Joh 14:30; Heb 4:15; Jas 4:7

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary.

² tn Grk “he”; the referent (the devil) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

³ 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).
