Mark 1:12
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.
11 And a voice came from heaven: “You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased.”
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.
14 After the arrest of John, Jesus went into Galilee and proclaimed the gospel of God.
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.
