The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus

1:9 Now18 in those days Jesus came from Nazareth19 in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan River.20 1:10 And just as Jesus21 was coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens22 splitting apart and the Spirit descending on him like a dove.23 1:11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my one dear Son;24 in you I take great delight.”25 1:12 The Spirit immediately drove him into the wilderness. 1:13 He was in the wilderness forty days,26 enduring temptations from Satan. He27 was with wild animals, and angels were ministering to his needs.28
