A.T. Robertson Commentary
"And Jesus answered and said unto him, It is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve." — Luke 4:8 (ASV)
Thou shalt worship (προσκυνησεις). Satan used this verb to Jesus who turns it against him by the quotation from De 6:13. Jesus clearly perceived that one could not worship both Satan and God. He had to choose whom he would serve. Luke does not give the words, "Get thee hence, Satan" (Matthew 4:10), for he has another temptation to narrate.
