“The Spirit immediately drove him out into the wilderness. And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him. Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.'”
Jesus was secluded, seeking God—preparing for the kingdom.
John was arrested—his ministry was done. Jesus stepped in, announcing God’s kingdom.
Repent and believe.
