Passover There, he could be found,
teaching the teachers in the temple.
The years went by and
there arose a new voice in the land. His name was John the Baptist. He taught repentance from sin and the coming of the Lord.
One day while he was preaching Jesus came on the scene and asked to be baptized. As he went down into the water and came up the Holy Spirit descended, like a dove and came upon him. The voice of God was heard saying
"This is my beloved son, in whom I am well pleased."
Then Jesus was driven into the desert to fast and pray There the devil came and tempted him. But he sinned not!
After that Jesus started his ministry He chose men to help him and
they traveled with him Many miracles and and signs
and wonders were done by him. But when he came to his own home town he was rejected.
