Vincent's Word Studies in the NT

Luke 4:13

Had ended all the temptation. Peculiar to Luke. The verb suntelesav, from sun, together, and telew, to accomplish, means to bring to one end together; hence to bring to an end utterly. Better therefore as Rev., completed. The temptations formed a complete cycle, so that it could afterward be said of Jesus that "he was in all points tried like as we are" (Hebrews 4:15).

All the temptation [π α ν τ α π ε ι ρ α σ μ ο ν]. Incorrect, Rev., rightly, every temptation. So Wyc., Every temptation ended.

For a season [α χ ρ ι κ α ι ρ ο υ]. Peculiar to Luke. More strictly, until a convenient time; since Satan meant to assail him again, as he did in the person of Peter (Mark 8:33); by the Pharisees (John 8:40 sq.); and at Gethsemane. See chapter Luke 22:53.
