John Gill Commentary


John Gill Commentary
"And he led him to Jerusalem, and set him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto him, If thou art the Son of God, cast thyself down from hence:" — Luke 4:9 (ASV)
And he brought him to Jerusalem
The holy city, as Matthew calls it, from the wilderness thither; where he found him, and first attacked him, and perhaps he brought him through the air: and set him on a pinnacle of the temple; which was in Jerusalem; (See Gill on Matthew 4:6).
And said to him, if you are the Son of God, cast yourself down from
hence ;
from the pinnacle of the temple, on which he was set; (See Gill on Matthew 4:6).
