After this, Zoroaster "on the mountain" conversed with Ahura Mazda, and invoked the beneficent beings who preside over the seven Karshvares of the earth. We thus have here the mountain, the stones, the Word from the mouth of God, the offer of the kingdoms of the world, and the ministering angels, which reappear in the temptation of Jesus. After his baptism, Jesus repudiates his human parentage ("who is my mother?" etc.), and was led up by his new mother--the Spirit--into the wilderness to be tested by the devil. To this no doubt relate the words of Jesus preserved by Origen from the "Gospel according to the Hebrews": "Just now my mother the Holy Spirit took me by one of my hairs and bore me up on the great mountain Tabor." [46] Here the Solomonic kingdom and glory were offered by the devil if Jesus would worship him. According to Luke iv. he was tempted forty days (the number of the years of Solomon's reign). The first incident thereafter was his announcement that the Spirit of the Lord was upon him, and the second was an exhibition of his Solomonic power over devils. This, in Luke, is his first miracle. His first titular recognition was this surrender of the devil, who cried, "I know thee who them art, the Holy One of Israel!" In Matthew also the devils first give him the divine title "Son of God" (vii. 29). In the next chapter he gives his twelve disciples authority over demons. That this was well understood by the people is shown in Matthew xii. 23, where, on seeing demons mastered, they cry, "Is this the Son of David?" that is, is this Solomon, the famous enslaver of demons? It may be noted in passing that in the three miracles in Matthew of exorcising a blinding demon the title "Son of David" is used. Alford speaks of this as remarkable; but vision is the especial promise of Wisdom, therefore of Solomon, son of David. It may be remembered in this connection that in "Wisdom" (Ecclus. iv.) the trial by Wisdom is set forth: "Whoso giveth ear unto her shall judge the nations. * * * If a man commit himself unto her, he shall inherit her. * * * At the first she will walk with him by crooked ways and bring fear and dread upon him, and torment him with her discipline, until she may trust his soul, and try him by her laws. Then she will return the straight way unto him, and comfort him, and shew him her secrets. But if he go wrong she will forsake him, and give him over to his own ruin."
