When, in the wilderness, do what Jesus did in order to shorten the experience. He got through it by speaking the Word. Now, though Jesus is the Word, obviously, when He was on Earth, the New Covenant had not yet been written. He spoke promises in the Old Testament, saying, “It Is Written.” (I won’t write all the references. I’m sure you remember the three trials of His faith nearly at the end of Jesus’ earthly life.)
John 10:34 is translated in every version where “Jesus answered them, “Isn’t it written in your scripture, I said, YOU ARE GODS?
And 1 John 4:17 reads: “We have become as He is in the world.” We have His Word and His authority.
