Commentary on Matthew 4:7
Jesus responds to the second temptation (presuming on God's protection by jumping from the temple) with 'It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God' (Deuteronomy 6:16). This shows that Scripture must interpret Scripture—Satan misapplied Psalm 91:11-12 by divorcing it from context. Tempting God means forcing His hand through presumptuous actions that require Him to act contrary to His revealed will.
