and for forty days he was led by the Spirit in the desert, while the devil tempted him. During these days he ate nothing, and when they were over he felt hungry.

The devil said to him, "If you are God's son, tell this stone to become a loaf."

and the devil said to him, "I will give you all their power and grandeur, for it has been made over to me and I can give it to anyone I choose.

And after exhausting every kind of temptation the devil left him till a fit opportunity arrived.

For John the Baptist has come, eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a devil';

Those 'on the road' are people who hear; but then the devil comes and carries off the word from their heart, that they may not believe and be saved.
