Commentary on Matthew 4:5
Satan's challenge 'If thou be the Son of God' attacks Christ's identity and tempts Him to prove His sonship through miraculous sign rather than trusting the Father's word declared at baptism. This parallels the serpent's 'Yea, hath God said?' (Genesis 3:1). The temptation was to use divine power for self-preservation rather than depend on providence, anticipating the later mockery at the cross: 'If thou be the Son of God, come down' (Matthew 27:40).
