Luk 4:2 | TNotes | STEP | 4:2 tempted by the devil: The term diabolos is a Greek translation of the Hebrew satan , meaning “accuser” or “adversary” (1 Chr 21:1 ; Job 1:1–2:13 ; Zech 3:1-2 ). Luke uses both terms (“devil,” Luke 4:3 , 6 , 13 ; 8:12 ; “Satan,” 10:18 ; 11:18 ; 13:16 ; 22:3 , 31 ). Adam and Eve were tested by Satan and failed; Jesus, the second Adam, resisted temptation and thus reversed the judgment against Adam and Eve.
