Church Fathers on Mark 1:12
And that no one might doubt, by what spirit he said that Christ was driven into the wilderness, Luke has on purpose premised, that 'Jesus being full of the Spirit returned from Jordan, ' and then has added, 'and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness;' lest the evil spirit should be thought to have any power over Him, who, being full of the Holy Spirit, departed whither He was willing to go, and did what He was willing to do.
Or then the beasts dwell with us in peace, as in the ark clean animals with the unclean, when the flesh lusts not against the spirit. After this, ministering Angels are sent to us, that they may give answers and comforts to hearts that watch.
