Deuteronomy describes a pivotal point in Israel’s history—a time when God is giving them rules by which to live. Note that the verses Jesus’ quoted during His Temptation follow close after the giving of the Ten Commandments in Deuteronomy:

And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6:6-9 (ESV)

It’s notable that when Jesus is finished, the Devil departs. His use of Scripture doesn’t prevent Him from being tempted, but it is enough to provide a powerful response in a moment of extreme temptation.

Jesus demonstrated in His temptation how to keep these commands and instructions “on your heart.”
