When Jesus and Satan encountered each other in the desert, Satan tempted Jesus three times, but Jesus resisted each temptation by quoting scripture. Ultimately, Jesus emerged victorious over Satan's temptations.
Jesus was baptized by john before going in the desert to be temted by satan.
When Jesus is tempted by Satan three times, Jesus rebuffs those attacks and the devil leaves him.
Actually Jesus was in the desert for forty days and nights. And yes he did get tempted by Satan. Three times.
Look into Jesus' time in the desert known as the 'temptation of Jesus'
The New Testament does not give any information of the "wilderness" of Jesus' temptation.
Satan was tempting Jesus- so he fasted for 40 days in the desert. After he was done- the Devil came to tempt him once more.
In the King James version In Matthew 4 # Satan came to Jesus when he was fasting and tempted him to turn stones to bread. # Satan took Jesus to the top of the temple in Jereusalem and tempted him to jump off, saying that angels would protect him. # Next Satan offered Jesus all the kingdoms of the world if he would worship Satan.
Jesus disappeared into the sky when he left Earth. Do you mean why did he go into the desert for 40 days? He went to spiritually prepare himself for Satan's temptation and his ministry on Earth.
Actually, Jesus was tempted during the 40 days in the wilderness, not after. Satan offered Him power, land and riches, all of which Jesus refused. Then Satan wanted Jesus to prove He was the son of God, again, Jesus would have no part of it.
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.
It was not a pleasent time for Jesus. He had been in the desert for forty days and nights with no food or water. He must have been weak, not only from His fast but also from being in the presence of Satan. If nothing else, Satan was hoping to wear Him out. But Christ held firm and defeated Satan on the cross.
I assume you are referring to Satan's temptation of Christ in the desert following His baptism (Matt. 4:1-3)? Satan was trying to get Christ to go against the program the Father had given Jesus. The fasting Jesus endured in the desert was in preparation for His ministry. Jesus was spending unbroken time with His Father in prayer. Satan knew Jesus must have been hungry. Satan also knew who Jesus was. He knew that Jesus was not just a man. Jesus was here to live as we live, and to have the same restrictions we have. We cannot simply command rocks to become bread. But the Son of God most certainly could. Scripture says Jesus was in every way like us, but without sin. So, Satan's temptation was to get Jesus to use His divine power to do that which His humanity could not do, and thereby fail in His plan to live as we do.
