 {Being tempted} (peirazomenos). Present passive participle
and naturally parallel with the imperfect passive (8867)eto (was
led) in verse  1 . This is another instance of poor verse
division which should have come at the end of the sentence. See
on 烘t 4:1; Mr 1:13| for the words "tempt" and "devil." The devil
challenged the Son of man though also the Son of God. It was a
contest between Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, and the slanderer
of men. The devil had won with Adam and Eve. He has hopes of
triumph over Jesus. The story of this conflict is given only in
 Mt 4:1-11  Lu 4:1-13 . There is a mere mention of it in  Mr
1:12f . So then here is a specimen of the Logia of Jesus (Q), a
non-Markan portion of Matthew and Luke, the earliest document
about Christ. The narrative could come ultimately only from
Christ himself. It is noteworthy that it bears all the marks of
the high conception of Jesus as the Son of God found in the
Gospel of John and in Paul and Hebrews, the rest of the New
Testament in fact, for Mark, Matthew, Luke, Acts, Peter, and Jude
follow in this same strain. The point is that modern criticism
has revealed the Messianic consciousness of Jesus as God's Son at
his Baptism and in his Temptations at the very beginning of his
ministry and in the oldest known documents about Christ (The
Logia, Mark's Gospel). {He did eat nothing} (ouk ephagen
ouden). Second aorist (constative) active indicative of the
defective verb esthi(935c). Mark does not give the fast.  Mt 4:2 
has the aorist active participle 
(8873)teusas which usually means
a religious fast for purposes of devotion. That idea is not
excluded by Luke's words. The entrance of Jesus upon his
Messianic ministry was a fit time for this solemn and intense
consecration. This mental and spiritual strain would naturally
take away the appetite and there was probably nothing at hand to
eat. The weakness from the absence of food gave the devil his
special opportunity to tempt Jesus which he promptly seized.
{When they were completed} (suntelestheis(936e) aut(936e)). Genitive
absolute with the first aorist passive participle feminine plural
because hemer(936e) (days) is feminine. According to Luke the
hunger (epeinasen, became hungry, ingressive aorist active
indicative) came at the close of the forty days as in  Mt 4:2 .
