En bref
Jesus’ temptation immediately followed his baptism, since Matthew 4:1 begins with the Greek word tote,
which is translated as then,
which means at that moment.
Yes. The Greek word tote is here in Matthew 4:1 translated as then,
meaning at that moment.
The temptation of Jesus therefore immediately followed his baptism. Together with Matthew 4:3 and Matthew 4:5 which follows, this adverb of time sequence indicates the intrinsic relationship between these two events. Through his baptism Jesus is equipped for his path to the cross, but in tempting him the devil shows him a different path—one which would allow him to avoid the cross altogether1
1 Alors Jésus fut emmené par l'Esprit dans le désert, pour être tenté par le diable.
