“The tempter came.
He said to Jesus.
‘If you are the Son of God,
Command these stones
To become loaves of bread.’”
καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ πειράζων εἶπεν αὐτῷ Εἰ Υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ, εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται.
Once again, this the same as in Luke, chapter 4:3, as they continued with their common source, perhaps Q. This devil, the tempter, came to Jesus (καὶ προσελθὼν ὁ πειράζων) after his 40 day and night fast. Jesus was really hungry at this time. Then this devil, or the tempting one as he is called here, taunted Jesus (εἶπεν αὐτῷ) by telling him that if he was truly the son of God (Εἰ Υἱὸς εἶ τοῦ Θεοῦ), he could just say the word and make these stones turn into loaves of bread (εἰπὲ ἵνα οἱ λίθοι οὗτοι ἄρτοι γένωνται). Then Jesus could eat these loaves of bread and take away his hunger. The terminology of the son of God had been used in the Hebrew scriptures, as it indicated a special relationship with God.
