It essentially talks about Satan attempting to “tempt” Jesus, Jesus then states “Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.”
It’s a parallel verse that follows to Deuteronomy 6:16.
Notice how Deuteronomy 6:16 is MOSES talking.
“Complementing the mention in Mark 1:12–13 that Jesus was tempted (tested) for forty days in the wilderness by Satan, Matt’s narrative of the temptations (4:1–11) 10 fills in from Q their contents, which have been partially shaped from the kinds of testing Jesus underwent during the ministry.
The three temptations try to divert the proclamation of God’s kingdom so that it will become a kingdom according to the standards of this world.
The devil tests Jesus to turn stones into bread for his personal convenience; Jesus will multiply loaves of bread but only for others (14:13–21; 15:32–38). The devil tests Jesus by offering him all the kingdoms of the earth; Jesus will receive all power in heaven and earth (28:18), but not by seeking it and only when it is given by God. Jesus’ refusals to have his goals distorted are all phrased in quotations from Deut 6–8, where during the forty-year testing of Israel in the wilderness God spoke through Moses to the people who were tempted to rebel against the divine plan by their complaints and false worship. At the end (Matt 3:10), after Jesus has demonstrated that he is the Son of God who completely serves God’s will, Satan is dismissed… Scenes in John show clearly that the three “temptations” or testings (gaining kingly power, working a bread-miracle for the wrong purpose, showing off greatness in Jerusalem), dramatized in Matt and Luke as a direct conflict between Jesus and the devil or Satan, had a counterpart in Jesus’ ministry. The crowd in John 6:15 reacts to the multiplication of the loaves by trying to make Jesus an earthly king, and in John 6:26–27 by seeking more such easily obtained bread. In John 7:1–9 the brothers of Jesus want him to leave the “backwoods” of Galilee to go to Judea where he can show himself off to the world.”
Most importantly,
Matthew 4:7 is a response to the quotation in the previous verse, which in turn references Psalm 91:11-12, where God is presented as the protector of the person who trusts him (Ps 91:1-2). The quotation places Jesus in the latter context, and his response—that Gods protection is not to be treated presumptuously—is therefore not a claim to godhood on his own part.
