Satan had presented Jesus with three temptations
in the wilderness.
These same three arose again but the circumstances
were changed:
When the devil tempted Jesus in the wilderness, he
suggested that He turn the stones into bread; but
Jesus refused to use His powers to take care of His
own personal need. However, when the multitude
forgot to bring food out of their enthusiasm to see
and hear Jesus; He made enough food to feed five
thousand people with twelve basketsful left over.
