In Mark 1:13, the story of Jesus going into the wilderness, where he was ministered by angels is an allusion to Elijah (1 Kings 19:5-7) who was ministered by an angel and in the wilderness forty days. There is no actual suggestion that Jesus fasted for this time, but those familiar with the story of Elijah are likely to have assumed he did do so.
Matthew and Luke both explicitly say that Jesus fasted during the forty days in the wilderness.
In John's Gospel, there is no mention of Jesus going into the wilderness or of him fasting for forty days. Instead, he returned to John the very next day and, on the third day, attended a wedding at Cana.
