If you, then, will worship me
This phrase is a direct quote from Satan during the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness. The Greek word for "worship" here is "προσκυνήσῃς" (proskynēsēs), which means to bow down or prostrate oneself in reverence. In the ancient Near Eastern context, worship was not merely an act of religious devotion but a declaration of allegiance and submission. Satan's proposition is not just about a physical act but a call for Jesus to acknowledge his authority. Historically, this temptation reflects the broader struggle between the kingdoms of this world and the Kingdom of God. The act of worship is central to the biblical narrative, emphasizing the importance of whom we choose to serve and honor.

it will all be yours
The promise of "it will all be yours" is a deceitful offer of worldly power and dominion. The Greek word "σου" (sou) translates to "yours," indicating possession or ownership. This reflects Satan's attempt to entice Jesus with temporal authority over the kingdoms of the world. In the historical context, rulers often sought divine endorsement to legitimize their reign, and here Satan is offering Jesus a shortcut to kingship without the cross. This temptation underscores the biblical theme of the fleeting nature of earthly power compared to the eternal reign of God. It serves as a reminder that true authority and inheritance come from God alone, not from compromising with evil.

Verse 7. - If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine. Dr. Morrison, on Matthew 4:9, has well caught the thought here. The arch-tempter "as it were said to Jesus, 'I am indeed the prince and god of this world. Its kingdoms and their glory are at my disposal. I could at once open up thy way to the highest honors that a universal conqueror and a universal sovereign could desire. I could gather at once around thee a host of devoted Jewish troops; I could pave their way for victory after victory, until at no distant period the whole Roman empire, and indeed the whole world, should be subject to thy sway. Only abandon the wild chimera of putting down sin and making all men fanatical and holy; fall in with my way of things; let the morals of the world alone, more especially its morals in reference to God; work with me and under me, and all will go well. But if thou refuse this offer, look out for determined opposition, for incessant persecution, for the most miserable poverty, and for every species of woe.'"
