Pericope 2 - The baptism and anointing of Jesus.
Pericope 3 - The temptation of Jesus.
It came to pass, in those days, Jesus came
from Nazareth of Galilee and was
then washed clean in the Jordan by the same
ol’ John, and straightaway when he was (washed…
&) coming up out of the water he
saw ripping of the curtains blue above
(the sky that separates realities),
the spirit coming down (to us from Love)
then resting on him, settling like a dove.
And out of those same heavens came a voice:
You are the son of me, and you're belov'd!
In you I am delighted - You're my choice!
And straightaway the spirit threw him out
into deserted regions, where he was
for forty days a tempted by (that “lout”,)
"Accuser", also with wild animals.
God's messengers were also serving him.
(Instead of keeping out, they’re opening up
those flaming swords that never had grown dim.
God's rule through his own son will soon erupt!)
9 Καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν ἐκείναις ταῖς ἡμέραις ἦλθεν Ἰησοῦς ἀπὸ Ναζαρὲτ τῆς Γαλιλαίας καὶ ἐβαπτίσθη εἰς τὸν Ἰορδάνην ὑπὸ Ἰωάννου. 10καὶ εὐθὺς ἀναβαίνων ἐκ τοῦ ὕδατος εἶδεν σχιζομένους τοὺς οὐρανοὺς καὶ τὸ πνεῦμα ὡς περιστερὰν καταβαῖνον εἰς αὐτόν· 11καὶ φωνὴ ἐγένετο ἐκ τῶν οὐρανῶν· σὺ εἶ ὁ υἱός μου ὁ ἀγαπητός, ἐν σοὶ εὐδόκησα.
12Καὶ εὐθὺς τὸ πνεῦμα αὐτὸν ἐκβάλλει εἰς τὴν ἔρημον.13καὶ ἦν ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ τεσσεράκοντα ἡμέρας πειραζόμενος ὑπὸ τοῦ σατανᾶ, καὶ ἦν μετὰ τῶν θηρίων, καὶ οἱ ἄγγελοι διηκόνουν αὐτῷ. Mark 1:9-13 NA28
Q: Both the Hebrew word Messiah, and the Greek word Christ , mean "anointed". If Jesus was the Messiah of God, or the Christ of God, when was he anointed? And who by?
Q: How do these similar concepts (baptism & anointing) fit together?
