Some interpretations are based on the idea that Satan's power over the world results from a specific biblical narrative and its subsequent interpretation, particularly based on the words attributed to Satan in the Gospel of Luke (4:6). According to these views, Satan, while attempting to tempt the Son of God, led Him up a high mountain and, having shown Him all the kingdoms of the universe, declared: "I will give you all this power and their glory; for it has been delivered to me, and to whomever I please, I give it." This statement is interpreted not as an independent possession of power, but as an indication that power has been given or entrusted to him for carrying out a hostile mission.
