Episode 51: Not by bread alone

In Matthew 4, the chapter just before the Sermon on the Mount, we read the story of Jesus being tempted by Satan in the wilderness. Jesus had been fasting for forty days, and the first temptation was for him to do a miracle to satisfy his hunger. He refused, quoting a speech given by Moses centuries before. Both of these stories give us some important context for understanding the prayer for our daily bread.
