John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:4

John did baptize in the wilderness ,.... Of Judea, Matthew 3:1 , where he first appeared as a preacher; and is the same wilderness Isaiah has respect to in the above prophecy, Isaiah 40:3 . The words are best rendered in the Vulgate Latin and Syriac versions; "John was in the wilderness, baptizing and preaching the baptism of repentance, for the remission of sins": according to which, the account of the Baptist begins with his name, John; describes the place where he was where he made... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:5

And there went out unto him all the land of Judea ,.... The people of the land, a great number of them: and they of Jerusalem ; the inhabitants of Jerusalem, hearing of this new preacher, the new doctrine that he taught, and the new ordinance that he administered: and were all baptized of him in the river Jordan, confessing their sins ; that is, as many of them as were brought to a sight and sense of their sins, and made a confession of them, these he baptized, or immersed, in the... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:6

And John was clothed with camel's hair ,.... This is a description of John by his clothes; See Gill on Matthew 3:4 , to which may be added, that it was usual for penitents, and men of austere lives, and of the first class for holiness and religion, to live in deserts, to fare hard, and wear coarse apparel. Mention is made of one man, who is called, נתן דצוציתא F6 T. Bab. Sabbat, fol. 56. 2. Vid. Buxtorf. not. in Sepher Cosri, p. 156, 157. , because he had on a garment of goat's... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:7

And preached, saying, there cometh one mightier than I after me ,.... From whence it appears, that John was a preacher of Jesus Christ; of the dignity of his person, the excellency of his office, and the nature and importance of his work: the latchet of whose shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and unloose ; expressing the great veneration he had for him, and the great sense he had of his own unworthiness, to be concerned in the lowest and meanest service of life for him; and that he was... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:8

I indeed have baptized you with water ,.... This was spoken to the baptized persons, partly to take off their dependence upon him and his baptism; and partly to direct their views to Christ, from whom the gifts and graces of the Spirit are alone to be had: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost ; See Gill on Matthew 3:11 . One copy adds, "and with fire", as there: a Jewish writer says, the holy blessed God baptizeth with fire, and the wise shall understand F16 R. Menachem in... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:9

And it came to pass in those days ,.... Whilst John was preaching and baptizing in the wilderness, and had large crowds of people flocking to him, to see his person, hear his doctrine, and to be baptized by him; some for one thing, and some another; Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee ; the place where he had been brought up, and lived, and dwelt in from his infancy, to this time: and was baptized of John in Jordan ; which was the reason of his coming from Nazareth to him; see ... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:10

And straightway coming up out of the water ,.... Not John, as many think; though it was true of him, that he came up out of the water, as the administrator of the ordinance of baptism to Christ, but Christ himself; who having descended into the water, the river of Jordan, and being baptized by immersion in it by John, came up out of it; not from the river side, and up the declivity to it, but out of the river itself: when he saw the heavens opened ; or "cloven", or "rent"; this may be... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:11

And there came a voice from heaven ,.... What the Jews call "Bath Kol", saying, thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased : it is in Matthew, "this is my beloved Son", Matthew 3:17 ; as if the words were spoken to others, to John, the administrator of baptism to him, and to those that were spectators; directing them to Christ, on whom the Spirit now descended, and testifying to them how great a person he was, how nearly related to God; how much he was the object of his love,... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 1:12

And immediately ,.... As soon as he was baptized, and this testimony had been given of his divine sonship, the very selfsame day, the Spirit driveth him into the wilderness : into a more remote and desolate part of it; for it was in the wilderness John was baptizing and preaching, when Christ came to him, and had the ordinance of baptism administered by him; and it was the same Spirit that descended on him at his baptism, which remained with him; by whose impulse he was moved, though not... read more
