Luke 4:13

The devil only left Jesus temporarily; he continued to tempt Him later. However, Luke viewed Jesus’ victory here as significant. His lack of reference to the fact that angels then ministered to Jesus (Matthew 4:11; Mark 1:13) reinforces Jesus’ personal victory over Satan.

"Moses fasted in the middle, Elijah at the end, Jesus at the beginning of His ministry. Moses fasted in the Presence of God; Elijah alone; Jesus assaulted by the Devil. Moses had been called up by God; Elijah had gone forth in the bitterness of his own spirit; Jesus was driven by the Spirit. Moses failed after his forty day’s fast, when in indignation he cast the Tables of the Law from him; Elijah failed before his forty day’s fast; Jesus was assailed for forty days and endured the trial. Moses was angry against Israel; Elijah despaired of Israel; Jesus overcame for Israel." [Note: Edersheim, 1:294.]
