Luke 4:1

Footnotes

1. 1 Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate continuity with the previous topic.
2. 2 “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.
3. 3 The double mention of the Spirit in this verse makes it clear that the temptation was neither the fault of Jesus nor an accident.
4. 4 Most (A Θ Ξ Ψ 0102 f1, 13 33 𝔐 lat) read εἰς τὴν ἕρημον (eis tēn erēmon, “into the wilderness”), apparently motivated by the parallel in Matt 4:1. However, the reading behind the translation (ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, en tē ejrēmō) is found in overall better witnesses (𝔓4vid,7, 75vid א B D L W 579 892 1241 it).
5. 5 Or “desert.”
