Marcos 1:12

12 Y luego el Espíritu Santo le impulsó al desierto

Marcos 1:12 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 1:12

And immediately
As soon as he was baptized, and this testimony had been given of his divine sonship, the very selfsame day,

the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness:
into a more remote and desolate part of it; for it was in the wilderness John was baptizing and preaching, when Christ came to him, and had the ordinance of baptism administered by him; and it was the same Spirit that descended on him at his baptism, which remained with him; by whose impulse he was moved, though not against his will, to go into, this desert and forlorn place. For this was not the evil spirit Satan, by whom he was tempted; for Matthew expressly says, that he was "led up of the Spirit--to be tempted by the devil", ( Matthew 4:1 ) : where the devil that tempted him, is manifestly distinguished from the Spirit by whom he was led, and the same Spirit is meant here, as there. Moreover, in one of Beza's copies, and in his most ancient one, and in one of Stephens's, it is read, "the Holy Spirit driveth him"; (See Gill on Matthew 4:1).

Marcos 1:12 In-Context

10 Y tan pronto subió del agua, Juan vio abrirse los cielos, y al Espíritu como paloma, que descendía (y reposaba) sobre él

11 Y hubo una voz de los cielos que decía: Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti tomo contentamiento

12 Y luego el Espíritu Santo le impulsó al desierto

13 Y estuvo allí en el desierto cuarenta días (y cuarenta noches) y era tentado de Satanás; y estaba con las bestias fieras; y los ángeles le servían

14 Mas después que Juan fue encarcelado, Jesús vino a Galilea, predicando el Evangelio del Reino de Dios
