Lucas 4:9
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) The devil entered not into a contest with God, (for he durst not, and therefore said, If thou art the Son of God,) but he contended with man whom once he had power to deceive. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 4:13
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (non occ.) The enemy came to Him as man, but not finding in Him the marks of his ancient seed, he departed. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 4:18
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (Orat. 2. cont. Arian.) He says this to explain to us the cause of the revelation made to the world, and of His taking upon Him the human nature. For as the Son, though He is the giver of the Spirit, does not refuse to confess as man that by the Spirit He casts out devils, so, inasmuch as He was made man, He does not refuse to say, The Spirit of the Lord is upon me. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 4:34
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ad Epise. Æg. et Lib.) He spoke of Him not as a Holy One of God, as if He were like to the other saints, but as being in a remarkable manner the Holy One, with the addition of the article. For He is by nature holy by partaking of whom all others are called holy. Nor again did He speak this as if He knew it, but He pretended to know it. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 4:34-35
[(as quoted by Aquinas, AD 1274)] (ut sup.) Although he confessed the truth he controlled his tongue, lest with the truth he should also publish his own disgrace, which should teach us not to care for such, although they speak the truth, for we who know the divine Scripture, must not be taught by the devil, as it follows: And Jesus rebuked him, saying, Be silent, &c. — Catena Aurea by Aquinas
Lucas 4:41
Even when the demons spoke the truth, for they spoke the truth when they said, "Thou are the Son of God," the Lord himself silenced them and forbade them to speak. He did this to keep them from sowing their own wickedness in the midst of the truth. He also wished us to get used to never listening to them even though they seem to speak the truth.

Lucas 4:41
What irreverent men do not believe, the spirits see—that he is God. So they flee and fall down at his feet, saying just what they uttered when he was in the body. — On the Incarnation of the Word 5.32
