This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

It's been too long for me to remember where that passage comes, but could
it serve as a kind of Christ fasting 40 days in the wilderness episode?
Does he face either major temptation or something that could be called the
beginning of his ministry afterwards?
