Line 99: Following his baptism, Jesus was led into the desert by God where he [[fasting\|fasted]] for forty days and forty nights ({{niv\|Matthew\|4:1–2\|Matthew 4:1–2}}). During this time, the [[Devil in Christianity\|devil]] appeared to him and tempted Jesus three times. Each time, Jesus refused temptation with a quotation of [[scripture]] from the [[Book of Deuteronomy]]. The devil departed and angels came and brought nourishment to Jesus ({{niv\|Matthew\|4:1–11\|Matthew 4:1–11}}, {{niv\|Mark\|1:12–13\|Mark 1:12–13}}, {{niv\|Luke\|4:1–13\|Luke 4:1–13}}).
