Genesis 49:8-12 and Mark 1:9-13 (NKJ)

Genesis 49:8-12
Jacob Blesses His Sons (Judah)

8  “Judah, you are he whom your brothers shall praise;  Your hand shall be on the neck of your enemies;
Your father’s children shall bow down before you.
9    Judah is a lion’s whelp;  From the prey, my son, you have gone up.  He bows down, he lies down as a lion;
And as a lion, who shall rouse him?
10  The scepter shall not depart from Judah,  Nor a lawgiver from between his feet,  Until Shiloh comes;
And to Him shall be the obedience of the people.
11  Binding his donkey to the vine,  And his donkey’s colt to the choice vine,  He washed his garments in wine,
And his clothes in the blood of grapes.
12  His eyes are darker than wine,  And his teeth whiter than milk.

Mark 1:9-13
The Baptism and Temptation of Jesus
9    It came to pass in those days that Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 
10  And immediately, coming up from the water, He saw the heavens parting and the Spirit descending upon Him like a dove. 
11  Then a voice came from heaven, “You are My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”
12  Immediately the Spirit drove Him into the wilderness. 
13  And He was there in the wilderness forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered to Him.
