Luke 4
The chapter begins with a story of temptation. Many of us
know it almost by heart. Bread, glory, false humility… Jesus gloriously defends
Himself with the Word, to be precise – with the words of Moses from his last
sermon, delivered right before Israel left the desert going to the Land of promise.
Even a pitiful attempt of the devil to misinterpret Psalm 91 [which rabbinical
tradition assigns to Moses], didn’t break through the Torah based shielding or
a very unique technic of fencing with the Word of God (cp. Eph. 6:17).
