And because of that, Jesus didn’t have to concern Himself with the loud noises coming from His stomach or the fear that one more day without food might kill Him. Surely the devil knew (or maybe he didn’t) but didn’t care that Jesus had come to serve and not be served and His body would be given as a ransom for many.
