The Test

After his baptism, Jesus was driven into the desert by the Spirit so he could be tested. Unlike Matthew's and Luke's gospels, Mark did not explain the temptation. Instead, he used it as a transition between the baptism and the ministry of Jesus. Mark would return to the solitude of Jesus again and again to stress the prayer life of the Master.
