Mark 1:9-13

The Baptism of Jesus

9 One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and John baptized him in the Jordan River. 10 As Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens splitting apart and the Holy Spirit descending on him 1 like a dove. 11 And a voice from heaven said, “You are my dearly loved Son, and you bring me great joy.”

The Temptation of Jesus

12 The Spirit then compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness, 13 where he was tempted by Satan for forty days. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him.
