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 E pregava, dizendo: Após mim vem aquele que é mais poderoso do que eu, de quem não sou digno de, inclinando-me, desatar a correia das alparcas.

8 Eu vos batizei em água; ele, porém, vos batizará no Espírito Santo.

9 E aconteceu naqueles dias que veio Jesus de Nazaré da Galiléia, e foi batizado por João no Jordão.

10 E logo, quando saía da água, viu os céus se abrirem, e o Espírito, qual pomba, a descer sobre ele;

11 e ouviu-se dos céus esta voz: Tu és meu Filho amado; em ti me comprazo.
