Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness
He hungered ...  Luke here recorded the condition of Jesus after the forty days had ended; and, by his doing so before relating the series of temptations, plainly indicated that the temptation was not continuous throughout the forty days, but was the climactic aftermath.  "It was more in keeping with the wily cunning of Satan to wait until his intended victim was enfeebled with hunger."[5]
