The Angels Came and Ministered to Him
The Bible says that after the temptations were over that the devil left Him and the angels came and ministered to Him. The angels are called "ministering spirits" in the Bible and God sends them to help every man, they cannot be seen unless God allows it. It is a beautiful Scripture, "He shall give his angels charge over thee," revealing that the angels are commissioned by God to protect Him, and to protect anyone who has put their trust in the Lord.
"Then the devil left him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him." - Matthew 4:11
"For he shall give his angels charge over thee: - Psalms 91:11

Matthew 4:1
Jesus Led by the Holy Spirit
According to the Bible Jesus was led by the Holy Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. The Spirit of God chose to make the very first mission of the Messiah a contest between the king of this world and the real King. The devil could only use the things of this world, the things that all men are enslaved by, the enticing pleasures of sin, to offer Jesus. He was no match for Jesus because sin had no power over Him.
