Jesus was taken into the wild by the Spirit to be Tempted. Jesus had prepared for the test by fasting for forty days and forty nights. That left him, of course, in a state of extreme hunger which the Devil took advantage of in the first test: "Since you are God's Son, speak the word that will turn these stones into loaves of bread. Jesus answered by quoting Deuteronomy 8:3: It takes more than bread to stay alive. It takes a steady stream of words from God's mouth. Here we find the great inner meaning of The Temptation. That passage is the key to the principle of this entire teaching. The temptation was to demonstrate an effect, to demonstrate bread, to perform a miracle in the outer world, to center the thought and attention on the things of this world, that is, on the outer need.
