Yeah, in the text. Its in the text, just read it.
In Mark 1:12, the Spirit "drives" (Greek: ἐκβάλλει, ekballei — meaning "casts out") Jesus into the wilderness. This same verb root appears in John 2:15, where Jesus "drove out" (also ἐξέβαλεν, from ekballō) the money changers from the temple. Despite the different contexts, both passages use a forceful term implying urgent or authoritative expulsion.

Why?

Why would the Spirit of God drive His Son out into the Wilderness to be tempted?

To be tempted, Jesus is a tried stone.

Hosea 11:1 "When Israel was a child, I loved him, and out of Egypt I called my son."

Matt 2:15 And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.

@Truly why did the Spirit drive Jesus into the wilderness to be tested?

"If you be the Son of God...."

To test if He was the Son of God and obedient under the most servere conditions.

Because Jesus is a tried stone.

Isaiah 28:16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.

@Truly

“And he was in the wilderness forty days, being tempted by Satan. And he was with the wild animals, and the angels were ministering to him.” Mark 1:13

If he failed what is the implication?

Honestly, what you think up to have a conversation.

Correct he was a tried and tested stone!

Why 40 days?

Why do you ask when you can just search the 40 days and find out for yourself.
Israel’s failure Truly. Israel in Deut 8:3 all ended without perfection achieved...40 years in the wilderness which ended in failure. They could not obey the commandment.

Everything God is putting His Son through in the Wilderness is no different to what He put Israel through in the Wilderness.

Why are you asking me questions about this?
