[12] And  the Spirit  driveth  him  into  the wilderness.  [13] And  in  the wilderness  forty  days,  tempted  of  Satan;  and  with  the wild beasts;  and  the angels  ministered  unto him. 

What does Mark 1:12-13 Mean?

Contextual Meaning

Jesus" temptation by Satan was another event that prepared the divine Servant for His ministry. [1] Mark"s account is brief, and it stresses the great spiritual conflict that this temptation posed for Jesus. The writer omitted any reference to Jesus" feelings about the temptation. A servant"s response to his trials is more important than his feelings about them.
