SCRIPTURE

"And when the devil had completed every temptation, he departed from him for a season." — Luke 4:13 (ASV)

Departed for a season. For a time. From this it appears that our Savior was afterward subjected to temptations by Satan, but no particular temptations are recorded after this. From John 14:30, it seems that the devil tried or tempted him in the agony in Gethsemane. Compare to Hebrews 12:4 (see Barnes on that verse).

It is more than probable, also, that Satan did much to excite the Pharisees and Sadducees to endeavor to entangle him, and the priests and rulers to oppose him; yet out of all his temptations God delivered him. And so he will make a way to escape for all that are tempted, and will not suffer them to be tempted above that which they are able to bear (1 Corinthians 10:13).
