Marcos 1:9 Meaning and 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 ( Matthew 3:13 ) , where this is observed; and in some verses following, an account is given of what passed between Christ and John, on this occasion.

Marcos 1:9 In-Context

7 Y predicaba, diciendo: Viene tras mí el que es más poderoso que yo, al cual no soy digno de desatar encorvado la correa de sus zapatos.

8 Yo á la verdad os he bautizado con agua; mas él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo.

9 Y aconteció en aquellos días, que Jesús vino de Nazaret de Galilea, y fué bautizado por Juan en el Jordán.

10 Y luego, subiendo del agua, vió abrirse los cielos, y al Espíritu como paloma, que descendía sobre él.

11 Y hubo una voz de los cielos que decía: Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti tomo contentamiento.
