Summary

Full Question: I’ve started studying the temptation of Christ, focusing on the Scripture Jesus uses to rebuke Satan. The first verse, from Deuteronomy 8:3, was longer than I expected and includes more than just the reference to bread. However, I’m really stuck on the second verse Jesus quotes: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve’; (Luke 4:8). All my Bibles reference Deuteronomy 6:13, but that verse says, ‘You shall fear the Lord your God and serve Him,’ not ‘worship’. Why would Jesus change the wording? Is it the same Hebrew word, and if so, why isn’t it translated the same way? I’m curious because I think understanding the correct terminology is important, especially since I’m studying Jesus’ response to apply it to my own struggles. I’d love to hear your thoughts—you know way more about this than I do! To read the show notes, click here. Call or text us your question at 615-281-9694 or email at [email protected].
