Mark 1:15 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 1:14-22

Here is, I. A general account of Christ's preaching in Galilee. John gives an account of his preaching in Judea, before this (John 2:1-3:36), which the other evangelists had omitted, who chiefly relate what occurred in Galilee, because that was least known at Jerusalem. Observe, 1. When Jesus began to preach in Galilee; After that John was put in prison. When he had finished his testimony, then Jesus began his. Note, The silencing of Christ's ministers shall not be the suppressing of Christ's... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 1:14-15

1:14-15 After John had been committed to prison, Jesus came into Galilee, announcing the good news about God, and saying, "The time that was appointed has come; and the Kingdom of God is here. Repent and believe the good news." There are in this summary of the message of Jesus three great, dominant words of the Christian faith. (i) There is the good news. It was preeminently good news that Jesus came to bring to men. If we follow the word euaggelion ( Greek #2098 ), good news, gospel... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:15

And saying, the time is fulfilled ,.... Either that which was fixed for the end of the law and prophets, the legal and Mosaic dispensation, and the Jewish church state; or the fulness of time for the Messiah's appearance in the world; which was agreed upon between the Father and the Son, was predicted in various prophecies, and the people of the Jews were in a general expectation of: and the kingdom of God is at hand : the same with the kingdom of heaven, in Matthew 3:2 , see the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 1:15

The time is fulfilled - That is, the time appointed for sending the Messiah; and particularly the time specified by Daniel, Daniel 9:24-27 . Here are four points worthy of deep attention, in the preaching of the Son of God. Every thing that is done is according to a plan laid by the Divine wisdom, and never performed till the time appointed was filled up. That the kingdom and reign of sin are to be destroyed, and the kingdom of grace and heaven established in their place. That the... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:14-15

The Divine Preacher. Christ was known as a Prophet before he was manifested as the Priest and the King of humanity. He came preaching. In these verses is related the fact of a ministry in Galilee. The occasion was the cessation of John's ministry; the place, that northern province which had been foretold as the scene of the Messiah's labours, and in which he had passed the years of his youth. We have here put upon record the substance of the Saviour's preaching. I. CHRIST WAS A ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:14-15

The ministry of mercy. Our text reminds us of the significant fact that Jesus began his ministry in Galilee, and not in Jerusalem, as the Jews might have expected of their Messiah. In the city where the sacred temple stood there was far less of the earnestness and simplicity which our Lord sought for than among the rural peasants and fishermen. Hence his work was begun and was largely continued in a district which was poor and despised. This, however, was only in harmony with much that we... read more

Parallel passages: Matthew 4:17 ; Luke 4:14 , Luke 4:15 .— The Galilean ministry. I. HIS PREACHING BEGAN IN GALILEE . Though our Lord's public ministry may be regarded as having commenced at that Passover at Jerusalem to which reference has been already made, yet his public appearance as a preacher was in Galilee. The place, the date, the subject are all distinctly marked by St. Peter in the tenth chapter of the Acts, at the thirty-seventh verse, as we read, "That word... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:14-20

The fishers of men. An interval of time elapses, the incidents of which, momentous in the great history, are recorded in the other Gospels, e.g. John's testimony to the Lamb of God ( John 1:19-34 ), the gathering of the first disciples ( John 1:35-51 ), the marriage at Cane ( John 2:1-12 ), the cleansing of the temple ( John 2:13-25 ), the conversation with Nicodemus ( John 3:1-21 ). "Now after that John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 1:15

The time is fulfilled ; that is, the time for the coming of Messiah and of his kingdom. The kingdom which had been shut for so many ages was now to be reopened by the preaching and the death of Christ. The time is very accurately indicated. St. Matthew tells us ( Matthew 4:12 ) that "when Jesus had heard that John was cast into prison, he departed into Galilee;" and then presently afterwards he adds, "From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, Repent, for the kingdom of God is at... read more
