“And going into the house they saw the child with Mary his mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, If you are the Son of God. 9 “All this I will give you,” he said, “if you will bow down and worship me.”ġ0 Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan!(L) For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”(M)ġ1 Then the devil left him,(N) and angels came and attended him.(O) 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Jesus was driven out of the river region into the wilderness. The ESV renders the text this way, The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness ( Mark 1:12 ). So that you will not strike your foot against a stone.’”(J)ħ Jesus answered him, “It is also written: ‘Do not put the Lord your God to the test.’”(K)Ĩ Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their splendor. 4 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. In Mark’s gospel, the evangelist records what happened to Jesus immediately after his baptism in the Jordan River. “‘He will command his angels concerning you,Īnd they will lift you up in their hands, 6 “If you are the Son of God,”(I) he said, “throw yourself down. It was part of God the Father’s loving purpose.


That means that God is Sovereign, the devil wasn’t in control, he wasn’t dictating the circumstances/game plan. 3 The tempter(E) came to him and said, “If you are the Son of God,(F) tell these stones to become bread.”Ĥ Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’”(G)ĥ Then the devil took him to the holy city(H) and had him stand on the highest point of the temple. The devil knows who we are, but God frequently uses the wilderness to ground us in our identity in Christ. But the men who had gone up with him said, We cant attack those people they are. so it's falseĢ.true because it is said that Satan is testing God therefore Jesus said to him "do not test God”Ĥ Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted(B) by the devil.(C) 2 After fasting forty days and forty nights,(D) he was hungry. Afterward, the Holy Spirit led Jesus into the lonely wilderness in. We don’t realize we need to be humbled, but we do. Humbled God’s purpose in the wilderness is to humble us. Jesus experienced the wilderness, just like we do. yes the spirit led him in the desert but it was satan who tempted Jesus. Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness (Matthew 4:1a) This was God’s plan, even for his only begotten Son.
