[:en]John the Baptist was sent as the messenger of Jesus to prepare the way for the Lord and make straight paths for Him. He was in the desert preaching a baptism or repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
Jesus came from Nazareth and was baptized by John the Baptist at Jordan River. And a voice from heaven came: “You are my Son whom I love.; with you I am well pleased”. And He was in the desert 40 days being tempted by Satan.
The tasks of Jesus:
- He called the First Disciples – Simon, Andrew, James and John (vs. 14-20)
- He drove out an evil spirit at Capernaum (vs. 21-28)
- He healed Simon’s mother-in-law’s fever, drove out demons and cured various diseases (vs. 29-34)
- He prayed in a solitary place and went to the nearby villages to preach (vs. 35-39_
- He touched the man with leprosy and he was cured (vs. 40-44)
