Matthew 4 describes the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness by Satan after He had fasted for 40 days and nights. Satan tempts Jesus three times, first to turn stones into bread, then to throw Himself off the pinnacle of the temple to prove that he is the Son of God, and finally to worship him in exchange for all the kingdoms of the world. After each temptation, Jesus resists Satan using scripture. He is then attended by angels and begins His public ministry.
