9In those days Jesus
came from Nazareth of Galilee
and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
10And just as Jesus was coming up out of the
water,
he saw the heavens torn apart
and the Spirit descending like a dove on him.
11And a voice came from heaven,
“You are my Child, the Beloved;
with you I am well pleased.”
12And the Spirit
immediately drove Jesus out into the wilderness.
13He was in the wilderness forty days,
tempted by Satan;
and he was with the wild beasts;
and the angels waited on him.
14Now after John
was arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee,
proclaiming the good news of God, 15and
saying,
“The time is fulfilled,
and the reign of God has come near;
repent,
and
believe in the good news.”Queeries for the text:
Are the angels serving Jesus as unappreciated as the deacons that follow their lead?
How terrifying would a dive-bombing pigeon be?
What has Jesus done to please God?
How long were those "forty days"?
Were the wild beasts friendly to the One who spoke Creation into being?
Why was John arrested?
What kind of "time" is fulfilled?
What are your queeries?
