Context of Mark 1:11

9Soon after this, Jesus came from the town of Nazareth in Galilee. John baptized him in the Jordan River. 10While Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw the skies open. The Holy Spirit came down like a dove and he stayed on Jesus. A voice spoke from heaven: ‘You are my Son and I love you. You make me very happy.’ 12Immediately, the Holy Spirit sent Jesus out into the wilderness. 13Jesus was in the wilderness for 40 days. During this time, Satan tried to cause him to do wrong things. There were wild animals with Jesus in the wilderness. God's angels took care of him.
