Luke 4:10for it is written, 'He will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you;'
The setting
Jerusalem temple pinnacle, ~30 AD. Satan quotes Psalm 91:11 to Jesus, twisting God's promise of protection into a dare to jump. Modern location: Temple Mount, Old City Jerusalem, Israel.
The emotion here: deceptive confidence while twisting truth
The original word
phylassō (φυλάξαι) — to guard, protect, watch over carefully
Why it matters
Satan quotes only part of Psalm 91:11, leaving out 'in all your ways' — a crucial limitation
Read with care
What most readers miss in Luke 4:10
Satan MISQUOTES Scripture here — he leaves out the phrase 'in all your ways' which limits God's protection to our obedient path
Common misconceptionPeople think this proves we have guaranteed physical protection from all harm, but Satan deliberately misquotes it — God's protection comes when we walk in His ways, not when we presumptuously test Him.
