In the 4th chapter of both Matthew and Luke we find the two accounts of Jesus' "temptation" by Satan. In the accounts, Satan "twists the meaning and intent of the Scriptures" to try to get Jesus to "sin" [to disobey the Commandments - I John 3:4]. But Jesus' response is to "quote Scripture" [the TRUTH - John 17:17] right back at him in the True Spirit of their intent.
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.
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'
When Jesus is tempted by Satan three times, Jesus rebuffs those attacks and the devil leaves him.
Jesus was baptized by john before going in the desert to be temted by satan.
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.
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.
