2: ημερας τεσσαρακοντα πειραζομενος υπο του διαβολου και ουκ εφαγεν ουδεν εν ταις ημεραις εκειναις και συντελεσθεισων αυτων υστερον επεινασεν— edit Textus Receptus
2: Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat nothing: and when they were ended, he afterward hungered.- edit KJV text
2: For the space of forty days, and was tempted by the devil. And he ate nothing in those days. And when they were ended, he was hungry.— edit Douay text



Being forty days tempted. That is, through forty days he was tried in various ways by the devil. The temptations, however, which are recorded by Matthew and Luke did not take place until the forty days were finished. See Mt 4:2, Mt 4:3.

He did eat nothing. He was sustained by the power of God during this season of extraordinary fasting.
