Luke 4:13

13 So ^{▼▼tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate a summary.} when the devil ^{▼▼tn Grk “he”; the referent (the devil) has been specified in the translation for clarity.} had completed every temptation, he departed from him until a more opportune time. ^{▼▼tn Grk “until a favorable time.”} ^{▼▼sn Until a more opportune time. Though some have argued that the devil disappears until Luke 22:3, this is unlikely since the cosmic battle with Satan and all the evil angels is consistently mentioned throughout Luke (8:26-39; 11:14-23).}
