Although Matthew, Mark, and Luke all describe Christ\u2019s temptations by Satan, Tissot cites only the version given by Luke. For reasons that remain unclear, he changes the order of the tests given by Luke.

In Tissot\u2019s first image, Satan abducts Jesus and soars to a precipitous height\u2014emphasized by the low, bright horizon line in the distance. The shadowy darkness of the claw-toed devil contrasts with Jesus\u2019 pristine white cloak. From their great height, Satan tempts Jesus with the many kingdoms he could command if he rejected God and worshipped the devil instead.

In Tissot\u2019s second image, after Jesus has fasted for forty days in the desert to prepare for his ministry, Satan urges him to end his hunger by turning stones into bread. Jesus refuses, despite his suffering. In Luke\u2019s telling, Jesus invokes a verse from the Old Testament book of Deuteronomy, proclaiming: \u201cIt is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.\u201d
