Commentary on Luke 4:1
Jesus, 'full of the Holy Ghost,' was 'led by the Spirit into the wilderness.' The Greek 'plērēs pneumatos hagiou' (πλήρης πνεύματος ἁγίου, full of Holy Spirit) emphasizes Jesus' complete Spirit-anointing from His baptism. The Spirit's leading into wilderness for temptation demonstrates divine purpose in testing—not to cause failure but to prove and display Jesus' righteousness. Unlike Israel who failed wilderness testing, Jesus succeeds, showing Him as the true Israel who perfectly obeys God. Temptation follows anointing—spiritual strength invites spiritual attack.
