Luke 4:2-4 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungry.… In these three characteristic temptations we are — 1. To look for the central principles of Christ's work brought to the test at the outset of His career. 2. To discern, in some degree at least, the central points of the trial of all human souls which our Lord felt in all its intensity. (H. Wace, D. D.)
