The Temptation of Jesus

4:1 Then1 Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River2 and was led by the Spirit3 in4 the wilderness,5

1	tn Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate continuity with the previous topic.
2	tn “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.
3	sn The double mention of the Spirit in this verse makes it clear that the temptation was neither the fault of Jesus nor an accident.
4	tc Most mss (A Θ Ξ Ψ 0102 f1, 13 33 𝔐 lat) read εἰς τὴν ἕρημον (eis tēn erēmon, “into the wilderness”), apparently motivated by the parallel in Matt 4:1. However, the reading behind the translation (ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, en tē ejrēmō) is found in overall better witnesses (𝔓4vid,7, 75vid א B D L W 579 892 1241 pc it).
5	tn Or “desert.”
