# General Information:

|

|
In verse 6, Satan quotes from the Psalms in order to tempt Jesus.
|
|
|
|
# If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down
|
|
|
|
It is best to assume that Satan knew that Jesus is the Son of God. Possible meanings are 1) this is a temptation to do a miracle for Jesus' own benefit. AT: "Since you are truly the Son of God, you can throw yourself down" or 2) this is a challenge or accusation. AT: "Prove that you are truly the Son of God by throwing yourself down"
