Matthew:4:1-12:
1: Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil.
2: And when he had fasted forty days and forty nights, he was afterward an hungred.
3: And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
4: But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
5: Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple,
6: And saith unto him, If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone.
7: Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
8: Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding high mountain, and sheweth him all the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of them;
9: And saith unto him, All these things will I give thee, if thou wilt fall down and worship me.
10: Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.
11: Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
12: Now when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;
Scripture states that Jesus was tempted by the devil when he was alone in a high mountain overlooking Jerusalem. This was a short time before he was to be crucified and he went here to received spiritual strength and consolation from his Father to do what he had to do. He had fasted or not eaten anything for 40 days and nights and was extremely weak, as any human body would be. Remember, he was God, but He came to earth in the form of a human. Satan likes to strike when you are already down and weak, so he took his best shot. But of course the Spirit of God prevailed.
The temptation of Jesus is recorded in all three of the Synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark, and Luke.
