Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 12. - Driveth him (ἐκβάλλει); literally, driveth him forth. That Holy Spirit, which not long before he had received at his baptism, impelled him with great energy; so that of his own accord he went forth, armed with Divine power, into the desert, that there, as in a wrestling-place, he might contend alone with Satan. There Christ and antichrist met, and entered upon the conflict upon the issue of which our salvation depended.

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(12) Immediately the spirit driveth him.--See Notes on Matthew 4:1; but note also St. Mark's characteristic "immediately," and the stronger word "driveth him."
