Luke 4:13

4:13 So ¹  when the devil ²  had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time. ³ 

Luke 4:2

4:2 where for forty days he endured temptations ⁴  from the devil. He ⁵  ate nothing ⁶  during those days, and when they were completed, ⁷  he was famished.

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.”

⁴ tn Grk “in the desert, for forty days being tempted.” The participle πειραζόμενος (peirazomeno") has been translated as an adverbial clause in English to avoid a run-on sentence with a second “and.” Here the present participle suggests a period of forty days of testing. Three samples of the end of the testing are given in the following verses.

⁵ tn Grk “And he.” Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

⁶ sn The reference to Jesus eating nothing could well be an idiom meaning that he ate only what the desert provided; see Exod 34:28. A desert fast simply meant eating only what one could obtain in the desert. The parallel in Matt 4:2 speaks only of Jesus fasting.

⁷ tn The Greek word here is συντελεσθείσων (suntelesqeiswn) from the verb συντελέω (suntelew).
