Does Jesus ever mention the devil?

Answer 1

Yes he does because when he is in the desert for forty days and forty nights the devil is tempting him and Jesus tells him to go away!!!! : )

AnswerJesus called Peter (the rock where he will build his church) SATAN.

Why would Jesus choose Satan to be the first leader of his church, is beyond me.

Matthews 16:23 But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men..

Answer

• Note - the above reference has Jesus addressing directly the spirit speaking through Peter. He addresses Satan specifically by name as He - being God - could discern his presence - not in the sense of possession but as the vehement revulsive response of Satan to Peter's inspired mention of ' Thou art the Christ the Son of the living God ' in verse 16.

AnswerMatthew 4 v1 - 11 is one reference for the meeting of Jesus and Satan in the desert at the start of His ministry. Matthew 13 v36 - 40 is the explanation of the parable of sowing seed in verses 24 - 30. Jesus explains that the enemy who sowed weeds in the farmer's field is a simile for the devil and his work. Matthew 25 v41 -Jesus refers to hell as being the place prepared originally for the devil and all his angels. John 8 v44 - The devil is described by Christ as '... a murderer from the beginning [that] lived not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie he speaks of his own for he is a liar and the father of it'. AnswerOn the answer above Re: John 8 v44, i don't agree that the devil is a liar and the father of it..

Luke 4:41 "And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God. . . ."

If the Devil is a liar and the father of it, , then the Devil's statement in Luke 4:41 is also a lie.

BTW, Luke 4:41 "is one reference for the meeting of Jesus and Satan " in a synagogue in Capernaum..

AnswerJohn 8:42-44

Jesus said to them...he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar,

-- The devil KNEW, that's why they SHOUTED.

-- We believe what luke is saying in his book.

The Devil is the father of Lies

Genesis 3:4

-- we died because of sin

Yes The devil is a Liar and the Father of Lies.
