First-century Jews believed that Jesus was going to be a strong, powerful military leader. This believed this because of the way that many passages of the Old Testament describe the coming prophet/king. After he performed the miracle of feeding the 5,000, the people were ready to make him their leader who would overthrow the oppression. Jesus was likely greatly tempted at this moment and so he does something that we could learn from ourselves in our times of temptation.
