~ His Baptism and Following Temptations ~

At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee
and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
As Jesus was coming up out of the water,
He saw heaven being torn open
and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
And a voice came from heaven:
"You are My Son, whom I love;
with You I am well pleased."

At once the Spirit sent Him out into the desert,
and He was in the desert forty days,
being tempted by Satan.
He was with the wild animals,
and angels attended Him.

(Mark 1:9-13)
