GOSPEL PEARLS
This is the time of fulfillment
The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert (Mk 1:12)
The Spirit drove Jesus out into the desert,
and he remained in the desert for forty days,
tempted by Satan.
He was among wild beasts,
and the angels ministered to him.
After John had been arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:
"This is the time of fulfillment.
The kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel."
(Mk 1:12-15)
