What does the Bible say about Jesus being tempted?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible teaches that Jesus was tempted by the devil but did not sin, as evidenced in Matthew 4:1-11.

In Matthew 4:1-11, we read that Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil after His baptism. This event is crucial because it demonstrates both His humanity and His divine nature. Temptation is part of the human experience, and by undergoing it, Jesus identifies with our struggles. The temptations He faced were real but not coercive; He could not sin because of His holy nature. Holiness cannot sin, and thus He served as our perfect example and high priest, being able to sympathize with our weaknesses without sinning Himself.
