“And there came a voice from heaven, saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
King James Version (KJV)
1:9 #Mt 3:13|; Lu 3:21.
1:12 And immediately the Spirit thrusteth him out into the wilderness - So in all the children of God, extraordinary manifestations of his favour are wont to be followed by extraordinary temptations. #Mt 4:1|; Lu 4:1.
1:13 And he was there forty days, tempted by Satan - Invisibly. After this followed the temptation by him in a visible shape, related by St. Matthew. And he was with the wild beasts - Though they had no power to hurt him. St. Mark not only gives us a compendium of St. Matthew's Gospel, but likewise several valuable particulars, which the other evangelists have omitted.
