Marco 1:1-8

Listen to Marco 1:1-8
1 Principio dell’evangelo di Gesù Cristo, Figliuolo di Dio.
2 Secondo ch’egli è scritto nel profeta Isaia: Ecco, io mando davanti a te il mio messaggero a prepararti la via…
3 V’è una voce di uno che grida nel deserto: Preparate la via del Signore, addirizzate i suoi sentieri,
4 apparve Giovanni il Battista nel deserto predicando un battesimo di ravvedimento per la remissione dei peccati.
5 E tutto il paese della Giudea e tutti quei di Gerusalemme accorrevano a lui; ed erano da lui battezzati nel fiume Giordano, confessando i loro peccati.
6 Or Giovanni era vestito di pel di cammello, con una cintura di cuoio intorno ai fianchi, e si nutriva di locuste e di miele selvatico.
7 E predicava, dicendo: Dopo di me vien colui che è più forte di me; al quale io non son degno di chinarmi a sciogliere il legaccio dei calzari.
8 Io vi ho battezzati con acqua, ma lui vi battezzerà con lo Spirito Santo.

Marco 1:1-8 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO MARK

This is the title of the book, the subject of which is the Gospel; a joyful account of the ministry, miracles, actions, and sufferings of Christ: the writer of it was not one of the twelve apostles, but an evangelist; the same with John Mark, or John, whose surname was Mark: John was his Hebrew name, and Mark his Gentile name, Ac 12:12,25, and was Barnabas's sister's son, Col 4:10, his mother's name was Mary, Ac 12:12. The Apostle Peter calls him his son, 1Pe 5:13, if he is the same; and he is thought to have wrote his Gospel from him {a}, and by his order, and which was afterwards examined and approved by him {b} it is said to have been wrote originally in Latin, or in the Roman tongue: so say the Arabic and Persic versions at the beginning of it, and the Syriac version says the same at the end: but of this there is no evidence, any more, nor so much, as of Matthew's writing his Gospel in Hebrew. The old Latin copy of this, is a version from the Greek; it is most likely that it was originally written in Greek, as the rest of the New Testament.
