King James Bible
"Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him."
Following Jesus' successful resistance of three temptations in the wilderness, Satan departs in defeat. This departure marks the end of a concentrated spiritual assault that began after Jesus' forty-day fast, demonstrating that even the tempter must yield to God's authority when resisted with Scripture. The word "behold" emphasizes the dramatic shift from demonic opposition to divine care. Angels arrive to provide physical and spiritual refreshment to Jesus in his weakened state, paralleling how angels sustained Elijah in the wilderness and revealing heaven's immediate response to spiritual victory.
