Jesus’ Temptations |
Luke 4:2-3 . . . for forty days, being tempted by the devil. He ate nothing in those days. Afterward, when they were completed, he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” Matthew 26:37-39,42-44 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful [“deeply distressed,” says Mark 14:33] and severely troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me. He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire.” . . . Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done.” He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words. Luke 22:44-46 Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief, and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.” Hebrews 2:18 For in that he [Jesus] himself has suffered being tempted, he is able to help those who are tempted. Hebrews 4:15 For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin. (Emphasis mine)
