Matt. 4:1–25 Jesus the Messiah Begins to Advance the Messianic Kingdom. Jesus triumphs over the devil in the wilderness (vv. 1–11), proclaims the kingdom of God (vv. 12–17), and calls disciples to follow him (vv. 18–22).

Matt. 4:1–11 Temptations of the Messiah. The temptations are a diabolical attempt to subvert God's plan for human redemption by causing Jesus to fall into sin and disobedience, thus disqualifying him as the sinless Savior.

Matt. 4:4 It is written. Jesus responds to each temptation by quoting from Deuteronomy, linking his experience to Israel's in the desert. In Deut. 8:2 Moses reminds the Israelites of God's testing through hunger and his miraculous provision of manna.
