When Jesus was tempted, He used the Word of God, Matt. 4:1-11.
When He was on the cross He quoted Scriptures three times, Matt. 27:46; John 19:28; Luke 23:46.

2 Timothy 3:16-17 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
