There is a very limited account of Jesus’ baptism and the temptation that followed. Matthew’s Gospel gives a very detailed account of these events. Mark’s introduction only has fourteen

In some parts of the Gospel of Mark‚ Jesus is presented as divine; however in other parts he is not so divine. When Jesus is performing miracles such as healing the sick or resurrecting the dead‚ he is divine. In those instances‚ he is healing those though their belief.
