Luke 4:13

“And when the devil had ended all the temptation, etc.] Or “all his temptations”, as the Syriac version reads; not only the last mentioned, but all the rest, whether inward or outward, in a visible or in an invisible manner; whether during his forty days fast, or after he was an hungered, when he had tried every way, and all sorts of temptations with him; and when he had done this, “in”, or “with all his power”, as the Ethiopic version reads; “when he had done his utmost”, and his best; and as the Persic version adds, “and profited nothing”; could not succeed, or get any advantage over him: he departed from him for a season; till another opportunity should offer, or till that time should…”

“On the temptation of Jesus, see the notes at Matthew 4:1-11. Luke 4:2 Being forty days tempted - That is, through forty days he was “tried” in various ways by the devil. The temptations, however, which are recorded by Matthew and Luke did not take place until the forty days were finished. See Matthew 4:2-3. He did eat nothing - He was sustained by the power of God during this season of extraordinary fasting. Luke 4:13 Departed for a season - For a time. From this it appears that our Saviour was “afterward” subjected to temptations by Satan, but no “particular” temptations are recorded after this. From John 14:30, it seems that the devil tried or tempted him in the agony in Gethsemane.…”

“A convenient season - In the garden of Gethsemane, Luk 22:53. Luke 4:14”

“4:13 The next opportunity might have been Judas’s betrayal (22:3-6, 21-22, 47-48); the supreme test came at Gethsemane (22:39-46).”
