In Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus faces three temptations in the wilderness after His baptism. He is tempted to turn stones into bread, throw Himself from the temple, and bow to Satan for worldly power. Jesus counters each temptation with Scripture, demonstrating trust in God's provision, rejecting self-glorification, and adhering to God's plan. These temptations highlight the importance of relying on God's Word and following His path, even in challenging times.
