Luke 4:6

All this power will I give thee Rather, in the emphatic order of the original, To Thee will I give this power, all of it, and the glory of them.

for that is delivered unto me The original is even stronger, has been entrusted to me. Hence the expressions, "the prince of this world," John 12:31; John 14:30; "the prince of the power of the air," Ephesians 2:2. Satan is in one sense "a world-ruler (kosmokratôr) of this darkness" (Ephesians 6:12). The Rabbis went even further, and called him -Lord of this age" (sar hâolâm), and even "another God" (êl achêr), which is Manicheeism; whereas in this verse, by the very admission of Satan, all Manicheeism is excluded.

to whomsoever I will I give it Comp. Revelation 13:2, "the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority." Here however we note the exaggeration of the father of lies. How different was the language of our Lord to His ambitious disciples (Matthew 20:23).
