Mark 1:12

And immediately the Spirit drove him into the wilderness.
All Commentaries on Mark 1:12 Go To Mark 1

John Chrysostom

AD 407
You see how the Spirit led him, not into a city or public arena, but into a wilderness. In this desolate place, the Spirit extended the devil an occasion to test him, not only by hunger, but also by loneliness, for it is there most especially that the devil assails us, when he sees us left alone and by ourselves. In this same way did he also confront Eve in the beginning, having caught her alone and apart from her husband. The Gospel of St. Matthew, Homily
