- Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, left the Jordan and was led by the Spirit into the wilderness, where for forty days he was tempted by the devil. He ate nothing during those days, and at the end of them he was hungry.
- The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me
to proclaim good news to the poor.
He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
and recovery of sight for the blind,
to set the oppressed free.
For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline. This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.Next verse!With image
