Matthew’s Account of the Temptation of Jesus (Matt. 4:1-11)
According to Matthew, Jesus was taken by the Spirit into the wilderness to fast for forty days and was very hungry. The devil capitalised on the opportunity to know whether Jesus could use His spiritual power to satisfy His material wants. The devil wanted Jesus to change stones to loaves of bread. Jesus answered him by quoting the scriptures “Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”
When Satan failed in this, he took Jesus to the holy city, set him on the pinnacle of the temple and commanded Jesus to throw himself down from there that it was written that his angels would take charge of him.
