Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to fast and be tempted by the devil for 40 days. The devil tempted Jesus to turn stones to bread when hungry, to throw himself off the temple to test if God would save him, and to bow down to the devil in exchange for rule over all the kingdoms of the world. Each time Jesus resisted by quoting scripture. The devil then left, and angels came and attended to Jesus. The temptation of Jesus in the wilderness demonstrates the divine plan for him to face lust of the eyes, lust of the body, and pride of life.

TOPIC: JESUS’S TEMPTATION
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the
wilderness to be tempted by the devil. After fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. The tempter came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.” Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God. Then the devil took him to the holy city and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. “If you are the Son of God,” he said, “throw yourself down. For it is written: “‘He will command his angels concerning you, and they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’[c]” Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’[d]” Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.” Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.” Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
