And Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit in the wilderness for forty days, being tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing during those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry. The devil said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” And Jesus answered him, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone.’” (Luke 4:1-4 ESV)
A couple of descriptors Luke uses are interestingly strung together, which by themselves are not nearly as interesting. For instance, Jesus is full of the Holy Spirit but hungry. He was led by the Spirit, but into the wilderness where there was nothing to eat. It’s an odd juxtaposition of literary elements. Of course it also sets up nicely an odd event.
