Jesus withstood the temptation of Satan not through His powers of reason which certainly surpassed those of the tempter. Jesus did not resort to supernatural power to escape this trial, though He had that power as well. Neither did He ask God for some special sign or angelic intervention to tell Him what He was to say to Satan. It was far simpler than that. Jesus knew the Bible, stood on it, and used it forcefully.
