Mark 1:14 NKJV

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Mark 1:14

(14) Now after that John was put in prison.—St. Mark agrees with St. Matthew in omitting all our Lord’s early ministry in Galilee and Jerusalem, and takes the imprisonment of the Baptist as his starting-point. That imprisonment is assumed here to be known; but the facts connected with it are not related till Mark 6:17-20. read more

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Mark 1:1-45

St. Mark Mark 1:1 A great epoch was exhausted, and passing away to give place to another, the first utterances of which had already been heard in the north, and which awaited but the Initiator, to be revealed. He came. The soul the most full of love, the most sacredly virtuous, the most deeply inspired by God and the future, that men have yet seen on earth Jesus. He bent over the corpse of the dead world, and whispered a word of faith. Over the clay that had lost all of man but the movement... read more

CHAPTER 1:14-20 (Mark 1:14-20)THE EARLY PREACHING AND THE FIRST DISCIPLES"Now after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee preaching the gospel of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel. And passing along by the sea of Galilee, He saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers. And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after Me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.... read more

L.M. Grant

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:1-45

This beginning is not that ofJohn 1:1; John 1:1, which speaks of the Lord's eternal existence "with God," and as being God; nor is it that of creation (Genesis 1:1), but of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, coming in blessed Servant character. Its introduction is seen in the ministry of John the Baptist. There was no need for Mark to even mention John's birth (as in Luke), no more than that of the Lord Jesus; for it is simply John's service that is seen here in preparing the way... read more

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Mark 1:1-45

BEGINNING CHRIST ’S MINISTRY Study this lesson in comparison with Matthew to discover what Mark omits and what, if anything, he adds; and then consider the same in its bearing on the object or purpose of the Gospel as described in the “Introductory” lesson. The following analysis will aid: Introduction (Mark 1:1 ) · Testimony of John the Baptist (Mark 1:2-8 ) · Testimony of God the Father (Mark 1:9-11 ) · Victory in the Wilderness (Mark 1:12-13 ) · Call of the Disciples (Mark 1:14-20 ) ·... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Mark 1:9-45

Spiritual Reparation [An Analysis] Mar 1:9-45 (1) John's dispensation was thus shown to be of divine appointment. Notice the beauty of John's work in relation both to the past and to the future: it was a baptism unto repentance; a baptism, and so connected with the ceremonial past; a baptism unto repentance, and so introductory to a new and more intensely spiritual state of things. (2) But why should Jesus Christ identify himself with a baptism which was unto repentance? His identification... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:14-22

14-22 Jesus began to preach in Galilee, after that John was put in prison. If some be laid aside, others shall be raised up, to carry on the same work. Observe the great truths Christ preached. By repentance we give glory to our Creator whom we have offended; by faith we give glory to our Redeemer who came to save us from our sins. Christ has joined these two together, and let no man think to put them asunder. Christ puts honour upon those who, though mean in this world, are diligent in their... read more
