9 One day Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee, and he was baptized by John in the Jordan River. 10 And when Jesus came up out of the water, he saw the heavens split open and the Holy Spirit descending like a dove on him. 11 And a voice came from heaven saying, "You are my beloved Son, and I am fully pleased with you."

12 Immediately the Holy Spirit compelled Jesus to go into the wilderness. 13 He was there for forty days, being tempted by Satan. He was out among the wild animals, and angels took care of him.

14 Later on, after John was arrested by Herod Antipas, Jesus went to Galilee to preach God's Good News. 15 "At last the time has come!" he announced. "The Kingdom of God is near! Turn from your sins and believe this Good News!"
