Unlike Adam in Paradise, Jesus was in the wilderness with nothing around. Jesus was also fasting for those forty days. The devil used Jesus’ vulnerable situation to try and get him to disobey God in what is called the Three Temptations.

Satan threw his hooks at me with no remorse. I try to dodge, but I can't move! I'm suddenly spun around by something, maybe it was from fear. I see a cracked mirror on the ground, but I don't see my own reflection in it, I see someone, no, something else. I look just like i usually do, but my skin and clothes are pitch black, my eyes; pupi, unira, that white part; is red, blood red. And there is an orange symbol in my head.
