And when the devil had ended all the temptation, he departed from him for a season.
After the devil had tried everything he could think of to tempt Jesus, he backed off and left him alone, but only for a while.
Even when you win against temptation, don't expect it to stay gone forever.
📚 Historical Context
In the Gospel of Luke, this verse wraps up the account of Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, which occurred right after His baptism by John the Baptist and was a period of spiritual testing. Jesus, empowered by the Holy Spirit, fasted for forty days and resisted Satan's temptations by quoting Scripture, demonstrating His obedience to God. This event highlights the ongoing spiritual conflict in the biblical narrative, where evil forces challenge God's people but are ultimately temporary.
