Commentary on Matthew 4:1
Jesus being 'led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the devil' shows the Spirit's guidance into testing, not away from it. The Greek word 'tempted' (peirazō) can mean tested or enticed—here both apply. This wilderness testing immediately follows His baptismal anointing, demonstrating that spiritual high points often precede trials. Jesus must prove qualified as the Last Adam where the first Adam failed.
