The "all this" refers to the kingdoms of the world and their splendor, which Satan had shown Jesus from a high place. This temptation highlights Satan's claim to authority over earthly kingdoms, a claim that is acknowledged in other parts of Scripture (e.g., John 12:31, 2 Corinthians 4:4). The offer reflects the temptation of power and material wealth, which are often used to lure individuals away from spiritual truths. It also echoes the temptation faced by Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden, where the desire for knowledge and power led to the fall (Genesis 3:5-6). he said, if You will fall down and worship me.

Kingdoms of the World Represents the earthly power and glory that Satan claims to have authority over and offers to Jesus. Teaching Points The Nature of TemptationTemptation often involves a distortion of truth and an appeal to immediate gratification or power. Authority and Worship True authority belongs to God, and worship should be directed to Him alone, as Jesus exemplifies. Resisting Temptation Jesus' response to Satan teaches us the importance of knowing and using Scripture to resist temptation. The Illusion of Worldly Power Earthly power and glory are temporary and cannot compare to the eternal kingdom of God. Faithfulness in Trials Jesus' steadfastness in the face of temptation encourages believers to remain faithful during their own trials.(9) All these things will I give thee.--St. Luke's addition, "For that is (has been) delivered unto me, and to whomsoever I will I give it," is full of significance. The offer made by the Tempter rested on the apparent evidence of the world's history. The rulers of the world, its Herods and its Caesars, seemed to have attained their eminence by trampling the laws of God under foot, and accepting Evil as the Lord and Master of the world. In part, the claim is allowed by our Lord's language and that of his Apostles. Satan is "the prince of this world" (John 12:31; John 14:30). His hosts are "the world-rulers (??????????????) of darkness" (Ephesians 6:12). In this case the temptation is no longer addressed to the sense of Sonship, but to the love of power. To be a King like other kings, mighty to deliver His people from their oppressors, and achieve the glory which the prophets had predicted for the Christ;--this was possible for Him if only He would go beyond the self-imposed limits of accepting whatsoever His Father ordered for Him. Wilt fall down and worship me.--The latter word properly expresses, as apparently throughout the New Testament, the homage offered to a king rather than the adoration due to God. Verse 9. - All these things will I give thee (ταῦτά σοι πάντα δώσω). The devil puts "these things" and "thee" in the sharpest contrast. In Luke the devil says, "To thee will I give all this authority, and the glory of them: for it [i.e. the authority] hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it;" i.e. there the devil speaks of giving, not actual possession of the things themselves (Matthew), but the authority that this implied, "and the glory of them." According to St. Luke, he does not attempt to conceal the fact that he has not absolute possession, but he claims authority as delegated to him, and as capable of being delegated by him to another. His claim was false as absolutely stated, but is true relatively in so far that even his usurpation of power must have been permitted (cf. our Lord's term for him, "The prince of this world"). If thou wilt fall down and worship me; i.e. prostrate thyself in obeisance before me - the Eastern method of acknowledging the superiority of a person (cf. Genesis 23:7; 1 Samuel 20:41; 2 Samuel 1:2; 2 Samuel 9:6). The expression does not mean "worship me as God" (for this surely was far too coarse a temptation to overcome any even ordinarily pious Israelite; cf. Weiss), but "acknowledge my rights as over-lord." It is not a question of apostasy (1 Kings 18:21; cf. Joshua 24:15), but of submission to the methods inculcated by Satan, which placed the immediate and the visible above the future and the unseen (Genesis 3:5; Exodus 32:4).Parallel Commentaries ...
