matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God. - Free Bible Online

matthew 4:7 Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'"


      7. Jesus said unto him, It is written again-- (De 6:16), as if he should say, "True, it is so written, and on that promise I implicitly rely; but in using it there is another Scripture which must not be forgotten."
      Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God--"Preservation in danger is divinely pledged: shall I then create danger, either to put the promised security skeptically to the proof, or wantonly to demand a display of it? That were 'to tempt the Lord my God,' which, being expressly forbidden, would forfeit the right to expect preservation."

JFB.
