# Connecting Statement:
Jesus fasts for 40 days, and the devil meets him to try to persuade him to sin.
# for forty days he was tempted
Most versions say that the temptation was throughout the forty days. The UDB states "While he was there, the devil kept tempting him" to make this clear.
# forty days
"40 days" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/translate-numbers]])
# he was tempted by the devil
This can be stated in active form, and you can make explicit what it was the devil tempted him to do. Alternate translation: "the devil tried to persuade him to disobey God" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]] and [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-explicit]])
# He ate nothing
The word "he" refers to Jesus.
