1690、“其余的人都逃到山里去了”表示不是他们都被征服了。这无需解释，从以下事实清楚可知：其余的人逃跑了。内义论述的主题是主在童年时期所经历的试探；关于这些试探，新约没有任何记载，只记载了祂在旷野或从旷野出来后不久所经历的试探，以及后来在客西马尼园和之后的最后一次试探。主自童年初期直到祂在世上的生命最后一刻的生活就是不断的试探和不断的胜利，这一点从旧约的许多地方清楚看出来；主的试探并没有随着祂在旷野中面对的试探而结束，这一点从路加福音中的话明显看出来：
魔鬼用尽了各样的试探，就暂时离开耶稣。（路加福音4:13）
这一点也可从以下事实看出来：祂一直受试探，甚至直到十字架受死，因而直到祂在世上生命的最后一刻。由此明显可知，主在世上的整个生活，从祂童年初期开始，就是不断的试探和不断的胜利。最后的试探发生在十字架上，当时祂为祂的仇敌，因而为全世界所有人祷告。
在福音书中，圣言对主生活的描述，除了祂在旷野经历的试探外，只提到最后的试探。除此之外再没有向门徒透露更多。从字义上看，所透露的事似乎微不足道，几乎不算什么事。因为以这种方式一说一答根本不构成任何试探；而事实上，祂所受的试探比人类心智所能理解和相信的还要严厉。除了亲身经历的人外，没有人能知道什么叫试探。马太福音（4:1-11）、马可福音（1:12-13）和路加福音（4:1-13）中所记载的试探以概括的形式包含了所有试探，即：主出于对整个人类的爱与爱自己、爱世界争战，地狱充满了这些爱。
所有试探都是对存在于人里面的爱的一种攻击，试探的程度取决于这爱的程度。如果爱不受攻击，就没有试探。摧毁一个人的爱就是摧毁他的真正生命，或他生命的核心，因为爱就是生命。主的生命是对整个人类的爱；事实上，这爱如此伟大，又具有这种性质，以至于除了纯粹的爱外，什么都不是。从主的童年初期直到祂在世上生命的最后一刻，祂就允许针对祂的这种生命的不断试探，或说允许祂的这种生命不断受到攻击，如前所述（1661:5，1676节）。爱，就是主的真正生命，或说主生命的绝对核心由这些话来表示：
祂饿了，魔鬼说，你若是神的儿子，可以吩咐这块石头变成食物。耶稣回答说，人活着不是单靠食物，乃是靠神的一切话。（路加福音4:2-4；马太福音4:2-4）
祂与爱世界和构成爱世界的一切争战，这一点由这些话来表示：
魔鬼又领祂上了高山，霎时间把世界上所有的王国都指给祂看，对祂说，这一切权柄和这些王国的荣耀，我都要给你，因为这原是交给我的，我想给谁就给谁。你若在我面前下拜，一切就都是你的。耶稣回答他说，撒但，退我后边去吧。经上记着，当拜主你的神，单要事奉祂。（路加福音4:5-8；马太福音4:8-10）
祂与爱自己和构成爱自己的一切争战，这一点由这些话来表示：
魔鬼就带祂进了圣城，叫祂站在殿顶上，对祂说，你若是神的儿子，就把自己扔下去，因为经上记着，主要为你吩咐祂的使者，用手托着你，免得你的脚碰在石头上。耶稣对他说，经上又记着，不可试探主你的神。（马太福音4:5-7；路加福音4:9-12）
不断的胜利由这句话来表示：试探之后，有天使来伺候祂（马太福音4:11；马可福音1:13）。
总之，主自童年初期直到祂在世上生命的最后一刻，一直受到所有地狱的攻击。祂不断与这些地狱争战，征服并战胜它们；祂纯粹出于对整个人类的爱而这样做。由于这爱不是人性，而是神性，并且这爱的强度决定了试探的强度，所以显而易见祂的争战何等严厉，地狱那一方何等凶残。我确切地知道，这一切都是千真万确的。

[NCE]1690. The rest fled into the mountain means that not all of them were conquered, as can be seen without explanation from the fact that the ones who escaped survived.
The inner meaning speaks of the trials the Lord endured when he was young. Not a word is said about them in the New Testament Scriptures but only about his crisis in the wilderness (or just after he came out of the wilderness) and finally about his last crisis, which began in Gethsemane.
From his early youth up to the last hour of his life in the world, the Lord's life was one continuous struggle and one continuous victory, as many passages in the Old Testament Word indicate. The Lord's trials did not end with the test he faced in the wilderness, as these words in Luke show:
After the Devil had finished all his testing [of Jesus], he left Jesus alone for a while. (Luke 4:13)
The same thing can be seen from the consideration that the Lord was tested up till his death on the cross and so till the last hour of his life in the world. This evidence makes it clear that the Lord's whole life in the world, from early youth on, consisted of constant trials and constant victories, the last of which occurred on the cross when he prayed for his enemies and so for everyone everywhere in the world.
[2] The Word's description of the Lord's life in the Gospels mentions none of his trials outside his final crisis, except for the one he faced in the wilderness. No more was revealed to the disciples. What was revealed seems so mild that it hardly amounts to anything, as far as the literal story goes; to speak and answer in that way is no trial.{*1} The fact is, though, that he was tested more severely than any human mind could ever grasp or believe. No one can know what a spiritual crisis is like except the person who has lived through one. The trial mentioned in Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; and Luke 4:1-13 sums up all the Lord's trials, which consisted in his battling the self-love and materialism that filled the hells, out of love for the entire human race.
[3] All trials target the love we feel. The severity of the trial matches the nobility of the love. If love is not the target, there is no trial. To destroy a person's love is to destroy the core of that person's life, since love is life. The Lord's life was love for the whole human race, a love so great and good that it was pure, unalloyed love. He allowed this life of his to be attacked continuously, as noted [1661:5, 1676], from the dawn of his youth until his final moments in the world.
Love, which was the absolute core of the Lord's life, is symbolized by this:
He was hungry, and the Devil said, "If you are the Son of God, say to this stone that it should become bread." And Jesus answered, "It is written, ‘Humankind is not to live by bread alone but by every word of God.'" (Luke 4:2-3, 4; Matthew 4:2, 3, 4)
[4] He fought against materialism and everything bearing its stamp, as symbolized by these words:
The Devil led him up onto a tall mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the inhabited world in a moment of time and said, "I will give you all this authority and the glory of these kingdoms, because it has been given to me, and I give it to anyone I want. If you will worship before me, then, they will all be yours." But answering him Jesus said, "Go back behind me, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God and him alone you shall serve.'" (Luke 4:5, 6, 7, 8; Matthew 4:8, 9, 10)
[5] He fought against self-love and everything bearing its stamp, as symbolized by these words:
The Devil took him into the Holy City and stood him on a pinnacle of the Temple and said to him, "If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, ‘He will command his angels concerning you, and on their hands they will carry you, to keep you from stubbing your foot against a stone.'" Jesus said to him, "Again it is written, ‘You shall not test the Lord your God.'" (Matthew 4:5-6, 7; Luke 4:9, 10, 11, 12)
His constant victory is symbolized by the statement that after his trial, "angels came close and tended to him" (Matthew 4:11; Mark 1:13).
[6] In short, the Lord was attacked by all the hells from early in his youth up to the very end of his life in the world, while he was continually routing, subduing, and vanquishing them. This he did purely out of love for the entire human race. Since his love was not human but divine, and the greater the love the harder the struggle, you can see how fierce his battles were and how savage on the part of the hells.
This is how it was, as I know for certain.

1690. They that remained fled to the mountain. That this signifies that not all were overcome, is evident without explication, from the fact that there was a residue that fled away. In the internal sense the temptations are treated of that the Lord sustained in His childhood, concerning which nothing is related in the Word of the New Testament, except concerning His temptation in the wilderness, or soon after He came out of the wilderness, and finally concerning His last temptation in Gethsemane and what then followed. That the Lord's life, from His earliest childhood even to the last hour of His life in the world, was continual temptation and continual victory, is evident from many things in the Word of the Old Testament; and that it did not cease with the temptation in the wilderness is evident from what is said in Luke:
And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from Him for a season (Luke 4:13);
as also from the fact that He was tempted even to the death on the cross, and thus to the last hour of His life in the world. Hence it is evident that the whole of the Lord's life in the world, from His earliest childhood, was continual temptation and continual victory. The last was when He prayed on the cross for His enemies, and thus for all in the whole world. [2] In the Word of the Lord's life, in the Gospels, none but the last is mentioned, except His temptation in the wilderness. More were not disclosed to the disciples. The things that were disclosed appear in the sense of the letter so slight as to be scarcely anything; for to speak and to answer in this manner is no temptation, when yet His temptation was more grievous than can ever be comprehended and believed by any human mind. No one can know what temptation is except the one who has been in it. The temptation that is related in Matthew 4:1-11; Mark 1:12-13; Luke 4:1-13, contains all temptations in a summary; namely, that from love toward the whole human race, the Lord fought against the loves of self and of the world, with which the hells were filled. [3] All temptation is an assault upon the love in which the man is, and the temptation is in the same degree as is the love. If the love is not assaulted, there is no temptation. To destroy anyone's love is to destroy his very life; for the love is the life. The Lord's life was love toward the whole human race, and was indeed so great, and of such a quality, as to be nothing but pure love. Against this His life, continual temptations were admitted, as before said, from His earliest childhood to His last hour in the world. The love which was the Lord's veriest life is signified by His "hungering," and by the devil's saying, If Thou art the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread and by Jesus answering that man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God (Luke 4:2-4; Matt. 4:2-4). [4] That He fought against the love of the world, or all things that are of the love of the world, is signified by:
The devil took Him up into a high mountain, and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time, and said unto Him, All this power will I give Thee and the glory of them, for it hath been delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will, I give it; if Thou therefore wilt worship before me, all shall be Thine. But Jesus answered and said unto him, Get thee behind Me, Satan; for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and Him only shalt thou serve (Luke 4:5-8; Matt 4:8-10). [5] That He fought against the love of self, and all things that are of the love of self, is signified by this:
The devil took Him into the holy city, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said unto Him, If Thou art the Son of God, cast Thyself down for it is written, He shall give His angels charge concerning Thee, and upon their hands they shall bear Thee up, lest Thou dash Thy foot against a stone. Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God (Matt. 4:5-7; Luke 4:9-12). Continual victory is signified by its being said that after the temptations, "angels came and ministered unto Him" (Matt. 4:11; Mark 1:13). [6] In brief, the Lord from His earliest childhood up to the last hour of His life in the world, was assaulted by all the hells, against which He continually fought, and subjugated and overcame them, and this solely from love toward the whole human race. And because this love was not human but Divine, and because such as is the greatness of the love, such is that of the temptation, it may be seen how grievous the combats were, and how great the ferocity on the part of the hells. That all this was so, I know of a certainty.

1690. That 'the rest fled to the mountain' means that it did not happen to all of them is clear without explanation from the fact that they had now become 'the rest', who fled away. The subject in the internal sense is the temptations which the Lord underwent in childhood, about which nothing is recorded in the New Testament Word. No temptations are recorded there apart from the temptation in the wilderness, or shortly after He came out of the wilderness, and the last temptation later on in Gethsemane and after that. The fact that the Lord's life from earliest childhood right through to the last hour of His life in the world consisted in constant temptation and constant victory is clear from many places in the Old Testament Word; and the fact that it did not end with His temptation in the wilderness is clear from the following in Luke,
After the devil had ended every temptation he departed from Him for a time. Luke 4:13,as well as from His undergoing temptations right through to His death on the Cross, and so to the last hour of His life in the world. From these considerations it is evident that the whole of the Lord's life in the world from earliest childhood consisted in constant temptation and constant victory. The last was when on the Cross He prayed for His enemies, and so for all people in the whole world.
[2] In the part of the Word where the Lord's life is described - in the Gospels- no other temptation, apart from the last, is mentioned than His temptation in the wilderness. More than this was not disclosed to the disciples; and the things which were disclosed seem in the sense of the letter so slight as to amount to scarcely anything at all. For the things that are said, and the replies that are given, do not seem to constitute any temptation at all; yet in fact His temptation in the wilderness was more severe than the human mind can possibly comprehend and believe. Nobody can know what temptation is except someone who has experienced it. The temptation that is recorded in Matt 4:1-11; Mark 1:12, 13; Luke 4:1-13, incorporates in a summary form all temptations, namely this, that out of His love towards the whole human race He fought against self-love and love of the world, with which the hells were filled completely.
[3] All temptation is an attack against the love present in a person, the degree of temptation depending on the degree of that love. If love is not attacked there is no temptation. Destroying another person's love is destroying his very life, for his love is his life The Lord's life was love towards the whole human race; indeed it was so great and of such a nature as to be nothing other than pure love. Against this life of His, temptations were directed constantly, and this was happening, as has been stated, from earliest childhood through to His last hour in the world. The love that was the Lord's very life is meant by His being hungry and by the devil's saying,
If you are the Son of God, tell this stone to become bread And Jesus answered, It is written that man will not live by bread alone but by every word of God. Luke 4:2-4; Matt 4:2-4.
[4] That He fought against love of the world, or against all that constitutes love of the world, is meant by the devil's taking Him on to a high mountain and showing Him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time and saying,
To you I will give all this power and their glory, for it has been given to me, and I give it to whom I will. If you, then, will worship before me, it will all be yours. But answering him Jesus said, Get behind Me, satan! for it is written, You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only shall you serve. Luke 4:5-8; Matt 4:8-10.
[5] That He fought against self-love, and all that constitutes self-love, is meant by these words,
The devil took Him into the holy city, and set Him on the pinnacle of the temple, and said to Him, If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written, He will give His angels charge regarding you, and on their hands they will bear you, lest you strike your foot against a stone. Jesus said to him, Again it is written, You shall not tempt the Lord your God. Matt 4:5-7; Luke 4:9-12.
Constant victory is meant by the statement that after temptation angels came and ministered to Him, Matt 4:11; Mark 1:13.
[6] To sum up, the Lord was attacked by all the hells from earliest childhood right through to the last hour of His life in the world. The hells were constantly overpowered, subdued, and vanquished by Him; and this He did solely out of love towards the whole human race. And because this love was not human but Divine, and because the intensity of the love determines that of the temptation, it becomes clear how severe His conflicts were, and on the part of the hells how fierce. That all this was indeed the case I know for sure.

1690. Quod 'residui in montem fugerunt' significet quod non omnes, constat absque explicatione, ex eo quod residui facti, qui aufugerunt. In sensu interno agitur de tentationibus quos sustinuit Dominus in pueritia, de qua nihil memoratur in Verbo Novi Testamenti, solum de tentatione in deserto seu mox postquam venit ex deserto, et denique de ultima tentatione in Gethsemane, et porro: quod Domini vita a prima pueritia usque ad ultimam horam vitae in mundo fuerit continua tentatio et continua victoria, constat a pluribus in Verbo Veteris Testamenti, et quod non cessaverit cum tentatione in deserto, constat ab his apud Lucam, Postquam absolvit omnem tentationem diabolus, destitit ab Ipso ad tempus 13;tum ex eo quod usque ad mortem crucis tentatus sit, sic ad ultimam horam vitae in mundo; inde patet quod tota Domini vita in mundo a prima pueritia fuerit continua tentatio et continua victoria; ultima fuit cum, super cruce oravit pro inimicis, ita pro omnibus in universo terrarum orbe. In Verbo vitae Domini apud Evangelistas, non memoratur, praeter ultimam, quam tentatio Ipsius in deserto; plura discipulis non detecta sunt; quae detecta, secundum sensum litterae tam levia apparent ut vix aliquid, [2] nam ita dicere et ita respondere non est aliqua tentatio, cum tamen gravior fiat quam usquam aliqua mens humana capere et credere possit; nemo scire potest quid tentatio, nisi qui in illa fuit; tentatio quae memoratur apud Matth. iv 1-11; Marc. i 12, 13; Luc. iv 1-13, continet in summa tentationes, nempe quod ex amore erga universum genus humanum pugnaverit contra amores sui et mundi, quibus repleta fuerunt inferna: [3] omnis tentatio fit contra amorem in quo est homo; in quali gradu est amor in tali fit tentatio; si non contra amorem, nulla est tentatio; amorem alicujus destruere, est ipsam vitam, nam amor est vita; Domini vita fiat amor erga universum genus humanum, et quidem tantus et talis ut non nisi quam purus amor; contra hanc Ipsius vitam admissae sunt tentationes continuae, ut dictum, a prima pueritia ad ultimam horam in mundo. Amor qui fuit ipsissima Domini vita, significatur per quod Esuriverit, et quod diabolus dixerit; Si Filius es Dei, dic lapidi huic, ut fiat panis; et quod responderit Jesus, Scriptum est, quod non per panem solum victurus sit homo, sed per omne verbum Dei, Luc. iv 2-4; Matth. iv 2-4. [4] Quod pugnaverit contra amorem mundi, seu omnia quae sunt amor mundi, significatur per quod Deduxerit Ipsum diabolus in montem altum, et monstraverit Ipsi omnia regna orbis terrarum in momento temporis, et quod dixerit, Tibi dabo potestatem hanc omnem, et gloriam eorum, quia mihi data est, et cui voluero, do eam; Tu ergo si adoraveris coram me, erunt Tibi omnia; sed respondens ipsi Jesus dixit Abi post Me satana, scriptum namque est, Adorabis Dominum Deum tuum, et Illi Soli servies, Luc. iv 5-8; Matth. iv 8-10. [5] Quod contra amorem sui, et omnia quae sunt amoris sui, significatur per haec, Assumpsit Ipsum diabolus in sanctam urbem, et statuit Ipsum super pinnulam templi, et dixit Ipsi, Si Filius es Dei mitte Te Ipsum deorsum; scriptum enim est, Angelis suis praecipiet de te, et super manibus portabunt te, ne forte offendas ad lapidem pedem tuum; dixit ei Jesus, Iterum scriptum est, Non tentabis Dominum Deum tuum, Matth. iv 5-7; Luc. iv 9-12. Continua victoria significatur per haec quod post tentationem, Angeli accesserint et ministraverint Ipsi, Matth. iv 11; Marc. i 13. [6] In summa, Dominus a prima pueritia usque ad ultimam horam vitae in mundo, ab omnibus infernis oppugnatus est, quae continue ab Ipso expugnata, subjugata et victa, et hoc unice ex amore erga universum genus humanum, qui amor quia non fuit humanus sed Divinus, quantus amor tanta tentatio, constare potest qualis pugnarum gravitas fuit, et a parte infernorum quanta ferocia: quod haec ita se habuerint, pro certo scio.
