By his baptism, Jesus had entered upon his work as the Mediator between God and man. Immediately following this, he was led into the wilderness to be tempted by Satan, since it was necessary for him to defeat his enemy, Satan, but also as a comfort for his church in their temptations.

When Jesus returned from the wilderness John the Baptist spoke of Him as “the Lamb of God”. By faith John and Andrew followed Jesus. Thereafter Jesus began to call some of His disciples. Jesus performed His first miracle when he changed water into wine at the wed- ding feast of Cana, thereby manifesting His power, so that His disciples would believe on Him.
