"How do Matthew, Mark, and Luke deal with Jesus' temptation?" @ WWHSS (Beta)

✔ Answer:
Matthew, Mark, and Luke each describe Jesus' temptation in their respective gospels, highlighting different aspects of this significant event. In Matthew 4:1-11, the focus is on the specific temptations Jesus faced and his responses, emphasizing his reliance on Scripture to refute Satan's temptations. Mark's account in Mark 1:12-13 is more concise, mentioning Jesus being in the wilderness with wild animals and angels ministering to him, emphasizing the harsh environment and divine support. Luke's version in Luke 4:1-13 parallels Matthew's account but includes unique details such as the order of temptations and specific locations, further illustrating the depth of Jesus' trials.

Matthew 4:4 - Jesus responds to Satan's first temptation by saying, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God."
Mark 1:13 - Mark notes that Jesus was with the wild animals, and angels ministered to Him, highlighting his divine support during the temptation.
