Luke 04 General Notes
Structure and formatting
Some translations prefer to set apart quotations of the Old Testament. The ULB and many other English translations indent the lines of 4:10-11, 18-19, which are quotations from the Old Testament.
Other possible translation difficulties in this chapter
"(Jesus) was tempted there by the devil"
In translation, it is important not to imply that Jesus actually considered or was in fact "tempted" by the devil. It is more accurate (theologically) to say that the devil "tried to tempt" Jesus.
