9主似乎说,“撒但,不要试诱我自居神的儿子的地位。我在这里是人。……撒但,我知道你不惧怕神的儿子,但你惧怕人。神所创造要击败你,并完成祂旨意的头一个人,被你击败了。因此,神差遣我为第二个人来击败你。现在你试诱我离开人的地位,自居神儿子的地位,但我告诉你,撒但,我是以人的身分站在这里。”(马太福音生命读经,一五八至一五九页)
9The Lord seemed to be saying, “Satan, don’t tempt Me to assume My position as the Son of God. I am here as a man…Satan, I know that you are not afraid of the Son of God, but you are afraid of man. The first man, the man whom God created to defeat you and to fulfill His purpose, was defeated by you. Thus, God sent Me as the second man to defeat you. Now you are tempting Me to leave My position as a man to assume My position as the Son of God. But I tell you, Satan, I am standing here as a man.” (Life-study of Matthew, pp. 129-130)
