19. The Forty-Day Fast. Mt. 4:1, 2; Mk. 1:12, 13; Lk. 4:1, 2

Immediately after this the Lord Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, was led by the Spirit into the wilderness for temptation by the devil. And He was there in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. He ate nothing in those days; and when they were ended, having fasted forty days and forty nights, He was finally hungry.
