How Many Times Was Jesus Tempted By The Devil In The Wilderness?
Three times:
1. To turn stones into bread - KJV Matt 4:3
2. To cast himself from the temple to prove he was the son of God - KJV Matt 4:6
3. To have unlimited worldly power - KJV Matt 4:9
Ironically these are good examples of the three major ways Satan tempts people:
Temptation of appetite. Temptation of pride. Temptation of power.
none. The tests are lame and there are no fallen angels or a rebellious satan that caused a rukus in heaven and was cast to earth (of all places in this big huge universe).
The account depicts jesus struggling against his own flesh and its desires and wants.
mighty satan offers jesus, material wealth, healing when he hurts himself and food. LOL. These are not tests neither are they temptations really, a babe in christ could pass these!
Three temptations mentioned like others here have said, but of course these were not the only times He was tempted.
A significance to the story was how He was tempted, and how the temptations were overcome. He was tempted in His mind, just like you and I, and He overcame by saying what God said about the temptations. I wrote a hub about it.

Why you do feel that God needs to put us through tests when he already who we are?There are many out there who feels God permits temptations.Normally scientist and others perform tests to find out the truth.Does God not know who we are?

How do you resist or escape temptation?We are all human and are tempted each day. We can be tempted by our cravings for those certain foods we really should not eat, shopping too much or sometimes easily drawn into gossiping when we know we should not and then there are the more serious...

If the Lord doesn't give us more than we can bear, is that to say that the Devil does?I am not being facetious and prefer not to have any mean answers or an answer from someone who doesn't believe in such things to begin with. Thanks.

Is it true that we all have Guardian Angels? If yes, how do we connect with them?

Jesus was a man and according to the Bible tempted in every way, as we are all tempted. My...question do you think Jesus every wanted to marry and have children or ever have the desire to have sex or passionately kiss a woman? The Bible is silent on any of this.

How many times do you have to repeat yourself before it's classed as nagging?Do you get called a "nag" because you keep asking someone to do something over and over?
