And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
This is the duel between the Seed of the woman and the serpent himself. Note: great privileges and honor will not shield you from temptation; in fact, God usually humbles us after lifting us up. After we are admitted into communion with God, Satan sets upon us hardest. The assurance of sonship is the best armor against the suggestions of the evil spirit.

Commenting on Matthew 4:1-11
Then saith Jesus to him, get thee hence, Satan..... In Luk 4:8 it is "get thee behind me": and so some copies read here, and is expressive of indignation and abhorrence; see Mat 16:23 rebuking his impudence, and detesting his impiety: he had borne his insults and temptations with great patience; he had answered him with mildness and gentleness; but now his behaviour to him...
Verse 9. All these things, etc. All these kingdoms. All these dominions Satan claimed a right to bestow on whom he pleased, and with considerable justice. They were excessively wicked; and with no small degree of plausibility, therefore, he asserted his claim to give them away. This temptation had much plausibility. Satan regarded Jesus as the King of the Jews.
