2.Temptation

Mark 1:9-139 At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in

Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.”

  

12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, 13 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was

with the wild animals, and angels attended him.

Matthew 3:14-15John tried to deter him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do

you come to me?- John the Baptist

“Let it be so now; it is proper for us to do this to fulfill all

righteousness.”- Jesus

  He had to “fulfill all righteousness” for our sake; that is, for the sake of

the people whom he was representing as their head. Unless he had done this for us, we would

have no record of obedience by which we would merit God’s favor

and merit eternal life with him.

Mark 1:10-11 10 As Jesus was coming up out of the

water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on

him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well

pleased.”

Exodus 19“10 And the LORD said to Moses, “Go to

the people and consecrate them today and tomorrow. Have them wash their clothes 11 and be ready by the third day, because on that day the LORD will come down on Mount Sinai in the sight of all the people.”

“The rending of the heavens, the descent of the Spirit and the declaration of God do

not alter Jesus’ essential status, but serve to indicate the cosmic significance of

Jesus’ submission to the Servant-vocation and affirm God’s good pleasure in His Son. As such, the passage marks the high point

of revelation in the prologue to Mark’s Gospel and provides the indispensable

background for all that follows.”

“12 At once the Spirit sent him out into the desert, 13 and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was

with the wild animals, and angels attended him.
