Let's stick to Jesus, it's safer:
Jesus went out into the desert and fasted there for forty days and forty nights
(the nights being mentioned to show he didn't take advantage of a loop-hole
like some lawyer schmuck). After a while he became delirious and had
halucinations, some of which were quite unpleasant. One involved a devil who
tempted him, first with gefilte fish but let's not get into that. The devil
offered Jesus all kinds of generous offers which Jesus turned down while having
the good manners not to say it was in fact only his Dad who had the power to
deliver on such promises. Eventually he returned and spoke to his disciples who
asked "Master, what happened?". Jesus told them, "I'll tell you later. Right
now I'm too bloody starving".
