Immediately following His baptism, the Spirit led Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan. Jesus fasted over a period of 40 days and then was tempted by Satan 3 times (Mark 1:12-13, Matt. 4:1-11, Luke 4:1-13).

∙ 8y agoOnly two of the gospels say that Jesus fasted in the wilderness - Matthew at 4:1-11 and Luke at 4:1-13.
We find in Mark's Gospel, from its literary structure, that the 40 days that Jesus spent in the wilderness was intended as an allusion to Elijah and Moses. Mark 1:13 tells the story of Jesus going into the wilderness for forty days, ministered by angels just as Elijah was ministered by an angel and in the wilderness forty days (1 Kings 19:5-7). There is no actual suggestion in Mark that Jesus fasted for this time, but those familiar with the story of Elijah are likely to have assumed he did do so. This brings into play another allusion, to Moses when (Exodus 34:28) he fasted for 40 days while he wrote the words of the Ten Commandments on tablets.
John's Gospel does not say that Jesus went into the wilderness, but instead has Jesus return to John the Baptist the day after his baptism, then commence his long mission.

How many days did Jesus Christ fast according to the gospels?
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.
Did Joshua fast 40 days with Moses?
The Bible mentioned nothing about whether Joshua participated in the fasting or not. Exodus 34:28 however specifically mentioned that "he (Moses) was there with the LORD forty days and forty nights; he did neither eat bread, nor drink water. And he wrote upon the tables the words of the covenant, the ten commandments." By comparison, we can deduce that Joshua might not have fasted, otherwise the Bible could have included a comment/statement there. On the other hand, it appears that 40-day fasting has been specifically mentioned in the Bible and those individuals who attempted it have been named clearly. We know Moses, Elijah and Jesus all fasted for 40 days and it has been accurately documented in the Bible. It seems to us that if Joshua had fasted 40 days, the Bible would have indicated the same clearly. Therefore, we can safely say that Joshua did not fast 40 days with Moses.
