Nelson Boils:
"At once the spirit sent him out into the desert,and he was in the desert forty days,being tempted by Satan.He was with the wild animals,and angels attended him."NIV

Was Jesus at a literal desert?Does a desert have literal wild animals?Did he go 40 days without eating literal food?

John from Kentucky:
Yes, is the answer to your questions.  His temptation and the other related events in the desert were literal.

However, as with all things in the Scriptures, His words are Spirit and have spiritual meanings.

Nelson Boils:
To be honest,I thought it was figurative.Thanks for the correction,Mr John.

Ditto to John's post. I agree as well.

Nelson Boils:
I know the events where literal,but I wanted to know whether He was surrounded by literal wild animals?At first I thought maybe the wild animals could mean evil men--that He was surrounded by evil men.

Is there even a literal wild animal that can survive in a literal desert?
