Mark 1:11
9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10 As soon as Jesus came up out of the water, He saw the heavens breaking open and the Spirit descending on Him like a dove.
And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
12 At once the Spirit drove Jesus into the wilderness,
13 and He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was with the wild animals, and the angels ministered to Him.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
