1.4 KiB
But Jesus said to Satan, “It is written
Jesus refused to do what Satan asked. This can be clearly stated: “But Jesus said to Satan, ‘No, I will not do that because it is written.’” (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit)
Jesus said to Satan, “It is written in God’s word, ‘People do not only need bread in order to live, but they need everything that God tells them!’”
This is a direct quotation. It can be stated as an indirect quotation: “Jesus told Satan that it is written in God’s word, ‘People do not only need bread in order to live, but they need everything that God tells them!’” (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotations)
‘People do not only need bread in order to live, but they need everything that God tells them!’
This is a quotation within a quotation. The entire quotation can be restated so that this portion is an indirect quotation: “It is written in God’s word that people do not only need bread in order to live, but they need everything that God tells them!” (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-quotesinquotes)
bread
Make sure that you use the same word to translate bread here as you did in 25:02. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-synecdoche)
but they need everything that God tells them!
Another way to translate this would be, “Rather, people need to listen to and obey everything God says.”
