Marco 1:15

15 Il tempo è compiuto, e il regno di Dio è vicino; ravvedetevi, e credete all’evangelo.

Marco 1:15 Meaning and 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 ) ( 4:17 ) , see the notes: (See Gill on Matthew 3:2), (See Gill on Matthew 4:17).

repent ye, and believe the Gospel.
He called them to repent, not only of their former sins and vicious course of life, but of their bad principles and tenets, concerning a temporal kingdom of the Messiah; concerning merit and free will, justification by the works of the law, and salvation by their obedience to the ceremonies of it, and the traditions of the elders: these he exhorts them to change their sentiments about, and to relinquish them, and give into the Gospel scheme; which proclaims liberty from the law, peace, pardon, and righteousness by Christ, and salvation and eternal life by the free grace of God.

Marco 1:15 In-Context

13 E fu quivi nel deserto quaranta giorni, tentato da Satana; e stava con le fiere, e gli angeli gli ministravano.

14 ORA, dopo che Giovanni fu messo in prigione, Gesù venne in Galilea, predicando l’evangelo del regno di Dio; e dicendo:

15 Il tempo è compiuto, e il regno di Dio è vicino; ravvedetevi, e credete all’evangelo.

16 Ora, passeggiando lungo il mar della Galilea, egli vide Simone, e Andrea, fratello d’esso Simone, che gettavano la lor rete in mare; perciocchè erano pescatori.

17 E Gesù disse loro: Venite dietro a me, ed io vi farò esser pescatori d’uomini.
