Jesus’ withdrawal is itself a teaching. The word clearly teaches that no one should come to the school unless he is first baptized, receives the Holy Spirit, fasts completely, and conquers every kind of temptation — as the type of the truth began in Christ and happens through Christ (Matthew 4:12).
Greek
∆ιδασκαλίας ἐστὶ τὸ ἀναχωρεῖν τὸν Ἰησοῦν. σαφῶς ὁ λόγος διδά σκει, ὅτι οὐ χρή τινα ἐπὶ τὸ διδασκαλεῖον ἐλθεῖν, εἰ μὴ πρότερον βαπτι σθῇ καὶ τύχῃ πνεύματος ἁγίου καὶ νηστεύσῃ ὁλοκλήρως καὶ νικήσῃ πᾶν εἶδος πειρασμοῦ ὡς ὁ τύπος τῆς ἀληθείας ἐν Χριστῷ ἤρξατο καὶ διὰ Χριστοῦ γίνεται.
