That would take some closer reading of the texts to determine. In Matt 4:2 Jesus fasts 40 days and 40 nights then becomes hungry. Other than being sinless why wouldn't he be hungry much sooner. In Deut 9:9,18 Moses not only doesn't eat he also doesn't drink. People can't go 40 days without water unless its a miracle. Because the form x days and x nights are only used for 3, 7 and 40 in the Bible it seems symbolic. | ||||||
