3. In Luke it is said, chap. 4. 13. He departed from him [Greek or Hebrew] for a season. He never tempted him again in this solemn way, hand to hand; but either abusing the simplicity of his own Disciple, Mat. 16. 22, 23. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee Lord, this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me Satan! thou art an offence unto me: Or else by his Instruments, laying plots to take away his life; as often, but especially in his passion, Luk. 22. 53. This is your hour, and the power of darkness. So Joh. 14. 30. The prince of this world cometh and hath nothing in me. Satan shall join with the Jews to destroy me, but they shall find nothing to lay to my charge; nor indeed have they power to do me any hurt, but that in Obedience to my Fathers Will I mean voluntarily to lay down my life for sinners. So he had a permitted power over him, and was the prime instrumental cause of his sufferings; set aside his voluntary condescension to be a Ransom for sinners, satan had not any power over him, or challenge against him. Well then, though he lost his Victory, he retained his Malice.
