The account is found in the Gospels of Matthew (4:1-11) and Luke (4:1-13). Context and Meaning *Fasting and praying*: Jesus spent 40 days in the desert, fasting and praying, preparing for his ministry. *The temptations*: The Devil tempted Jesus three times: 1. *Bread*: Turning stones into bread (Matthew 4:3-4). 2. *Power*: Kneeling before the Devil in exchange for power (Matthew 4:5-7). 3. *Glory*: Leaping from the temple and being saved by angels (Matthew 4:8-10). Jesus' Responses Jesus responded to temptations with quotations from the Bible (Deuteronomy 8:3, 6:16, 10:20). He demonstrated obedience to God and rejected the Devil's offers. Lessons Jesus showed that true strength comes from God, not from miracles or power. Jesus' temptation serves as an example for Christians, showing how to resist the temptations of the world [34gS].
