Pseudo-Chrysostom, on Mark 1:9

“And it came to pass, in those days, Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee, and was baptized by John in the Jordan.”

“(Vict. Ant. e Cat. in Marc.) Or else, that from heaven sanctification might be given to men, and earthly things be joined to heavenly. But the Holy Spirit is said to have descended upon Him, not as if He then first came to Him, for He never had left Him; but that He might shew forth the Christ, Who was preached by John, and point Him out to all, as it were by the finger of faith.”
