    Jesus fasted for 40 days in the desert and was tempted by the devil three times. Each time, Jesus resisted temptation by quoting scripture. The devil tempted Jesus to turn stones into bread when hungry, to throw himself off the temple to test God's protection, and to worship the devil in exchange for rule over the world's kingdoms. Each time Jesus refused, citing scripture shows we must only worship and serve God.

    Mt.

    4:1-11
    At that time, Jesus was led by the Spirit out into the desert to be put to the
    test by the devil. He fasted for forty days and forty nights, after which he
    was hungry, and the tester came and said to him, 'If you are Son of God,
    tell these stones to turn into loaves.' But he replied, 'Scripture says: one
    does not live on bread alone but on every word that comes from the mouth
    of God.’ The devil then took him to the holy city and set him on the parapet
    of the Temple. 'If you are Son of God,' he said, 'throw yourself down;
    for scripture says: He has given his angels orders about you, and
    they will carry you in their arms in case you trip over a stone.’ Jesus said to
    him, 'Scripture also says: Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’ Next,
    taking him to a very high mountain, the devil showed him all the kingdoms
    of the world and their splendor. And he said to him, 'I will give you all these,
    if you fall at my feet and do me homage.' Then Jesus replied, 'Away with
    you, Satan! For scripture says: The Lord your God is the one to whom you
    must do homage, him alone you must serve.' Then the devil left him, and
    suddenly angels appeared and looked after him.
