Mark 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.

Mark 1:9 In-Context

7 He proclaimed: "After me is coming someone who is more powerful than I -- I'm not worthy even to bend down and untie his sandals.

8 I have immersed you in water, but he will immerse you in the Ruach HaKodesh."

9 Shortly thereafter, Yeshua came from Natzeret in the Galil and was immersed in theYarden byYochanan.

10 Immediately upon coming up out of the water, he saw heaven torn open and the Spirit descending upon him like a dove;

11 then a voice came from heaven, "You are my Son, whom I love; I am well pleased with you."
