Luke 4:1

1 Then ^{▼▼ Here δέ (de) has been translated as “then” to indicate continuity with the previous topic.} Jesus, full of the Holy Spirit, returned from the Jordan River ^{▼▼ “River” is not in the Greek text but is supplied for clarity.} and was led by the Spirit ^{▼▼ The double mention of the Spirit in this verse makes it clear that the temptation was neither the fault of Jesus nor an accident.} in ^{▼▼ Most mss (A Θ Ξ Ψ 0102 f^{1, 13} 33 Maj. lat) read εἰς τὴν ἔρημον (eis tēn erēmon, “into the wilderness”), apparently motivated by the parallel in Matt 4:1. However, the reading behind the translation (ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ, en tē erēmō) is found in overall better witnesses (Ƥ^{4vid,7, 75vid} א B D L W 579 892 1241 pc it).} the wilderness, ^{▼▼ Or “desert.”}
