ExplanationCommentary
Verse 10. Jesus Christ does not here cite the words, but the substance of the text. Deuteronomy 5:7 and 9; 6:13; 10:20.—It is remarkable that our Lord bore with the pride and insolence of the devil, till he assumed to himself the honour due to God alone. S. Chry.
TR and NU read “Go away” instead of “Get behind me”
