Kosta:... just as he did not need the Spirit to "guide" Him in the desert, ...FK: In the scripture, I don't think there was ever any expression of "need", just an expression of "deed"
Why then is the "need" to mention that the Spirit was with Him? The Spirit is always with Him. But not to "take" Him into the desert.

For one thing it is a further evidence of the Spirit's personhood, and supports the idea of the Trinity. I don't see it as any big deal that the Spirit "took" or "led" Jesus into the desert. Jesus also prayed to the Father. We know the relationships. The Spirit leads US, and we are to pray to the Father.
