Luke 4:10

King James Version (1769)

10 For it is written, He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee:
Untruth

This verse is often misinterpreted as a promise of invincibility or angelic rescue from any self-imposed danger, encouraging presumption like jumping from heights to test God, as Satan wrongly applied it to tempt Jesus, ignoring the context of dwelling in God's shelter and the rebuke against tempting the Lord.

Truth

Luke 4:10 quotes Psalm 91:11, revealing God's promise to protect His faithful ones by commanding angels to guard them in all their ways, emphasizing divine care and preservation for those who trust and obey Him rather than a universal guarantee against harm.
