NASB | Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Matthew 4:1 Then Jesus was led by the [Holy] Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. [Luke 4:1-13] |
Subject: What was the point of the temptation ? |
Bible Note: The Bible teaches that Jesus was tempted in every manner as we were. How can he be tempted if he couldn't succumb to temptation? That is something I cannot simply shove off to the side and ignore. If Jesus could not in some form give into temptation, then there was no temptation. And if there was no temptation, then Hebrew 4:15 is a pure lie. Jesusman |
