In the spirit of Christmas,I thought why not: can anyone cite religious texts older than the NT that tell a similar temptation story Jesus faced in the desert with Satan? So far, I have found no similarities except in buddhism, where supposedly Siddartha Gutama was tempted by Mara to be king, but the earliest record of this story I found is in "the gospel of buddha", from the late 1800s. That text is based off of buddhist texts, supposedly, but no primary sources are cited in that work so its authority is dubious at best.
