He was tempted by the Devil.
Jesus had spent many days in the desert without any food or drink, and the Devil said to him to turn stones into bread, which Jesus denied. The Devil then took Jesus up to the top of a temple where he said "Throw yourself down, as the scripture says 'God will send all his Angels, so not even His feet will be hurt by the ground". Jesus refused and said, "Do not put the Lord your God to the test". Then The Devil took Jesus where he could see all the kingdoms of Earth and said "All this will be yours if you bowed to me", to where Jesus told The Devil to leave.

∙ 13y agoHe was tempted by the devil to stop fasting, to show his power in a spectacular way rather than by healing, and to put his own importance first rather than God's mission for him.
Jesus resited The Temptations and, in doing so, realised just what his mission was to be. After his time in the wilderness, he then recruited his disciples and began his 3-year mission.
The story of Jesus in the wilderness shows that even Jesus can be tempted to sin like us. However, the right way to respond tho that temptation is to resist it.

Who lived alone in the desert praying for god to deliver them from the Romans?
Jesus spent 40 days and 40 nights fasting in the desert. He did not go there to pray for god to deliver the Jews from the Romans. During that time Satan tried to tempt him.
Why if Jesus is god did he tell Satan that it is to Jehovah your god alone you must render worship?
Context is the answer. The context happened like this: Jesus goes into the desert to fast from food and water for 40 days and nights. Then Satan shows up and starts tempting him. At every turn Jesus replies with a verse from scripture that condemned giving in to Satan's temptations. When Satan tempts Jesus to worship the Devil (himself) Jesus replies, "It is written: 'Worship the Lord your God and serve him only" Basically Jesus was saying, "I cannot worship you because scripture says man must only worship God." Remember that Jesus was both man and God.

Could Jesus be tempted to commit sin?
Jesus actually was tempted, when he was living on this earth. It says in Matthew 4:1- Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. Jesus had been fasting in the desert for 40 days, then the devil came to him and said If you are really Jesus than turn those stones into bread. Jesus replied saying man shall not live on bread alone but by every word that comes from the mouth of the father. The devil tempts Him in other ways and still Jesus resisted it. Some people might say well if Jesus was tempted than he sinned and if he sinned then he couldn't be God. Being tempted isn't a sin, it's what you do with that temptation that makes it wrong.

When did Jesus need to be alone?
There were various times when Jesus needed to get away from the busy life of the ministry, and away from the large crowds, and even away from His disciples for a short time. The garden of Gethsemane is one example, although He did ask His disciples to stay close and be praying. Interestingly, whenever He did "get away", His purpose (with the possible exception of the Temptation by Satan) was always to pray to His Father. As far as it goes, Jesus was never fully alone until He went to the cross, because He always had God the Father there to pray to, and to get wisdom from. And both when He was tempted in the wilderness, and in the Garden before His crucifixion, angels came and comforted Him. The only time He was absolutely and completely alone was when God turned His face from Jesus on the cross, as evidenced by Jesus' cry, "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?" In that case, He needed to be alone - without the Father - because He was taking upon Himself our punishment, which is Hell - separation from God for eternity. Jesus, as the perfect and eternal One, took that punishment for us in a way we could never match. And Praise God, His salvation is available for us today!
