Luke 4:1-4.
1 Then Jesus, being filled with the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, 2 being tempted for forty days by the devil. And in those days He ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry. 3 And the devil said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him, saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.’ ”
Before Jesus began His work, He was led through an empty, isolated wilderness without food for over a month. Then the devil tried to tempt Him as he does us - but Jesus never wavered, even when starving after all the time. He answered the temptation to prove Himself by pointing out we live by God's word, not our desires first of all.
