In his opening verse, Mark provides readers with the main key to understanding his Gospel: Although we can learn much about the disciples and other characters from reading Mark, it is most important to understand what he is teaching about Jesus: Jesus is “the Messiah, the Son of God” (Mark 1:1). Setting It is generally agreed that Mark was the first of the four canonical Gospels to be written. …
1Principio del evangelio de Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios.
2Como está escrito en Isaías el profeta: He aquí yo envío mi mensajero delante de tu faz, El cual preparará tu camino delante de ti.
3Voz del que clama en el desierto: Preparad el camino del Señor; Enderezad sus sendas.
4Bautizaba Juan en el desierto, y predicaba el bautismo de arrepentimiento para perdón de pecados.
5Y salían a él toda la provincia de Judea, y todos los de Jerusalén; y eran bautizados por él en el río Jordán, confesando sus pecados.
6Y Juan estaba vestido de pelo de camello, y tenía un cinto de cuero alrededor de sus lomos; y comía langostas y miel silvestre.
7Y predicaba, diciendo: Viene tras mí el que es más poderoso que yo, a quien no soy digno de desatar encorvado la correa de su calzado.
8Yo a la verdad os he bautizado con agua; pero él os bautizará con Espíritu Santo.
9Aconteció en aquellos días, que Jesús vino de Nazaret de Galilea, y fue bautizado por Juan en el Jordán.
10Y luego, cuando subía del agua, vio abrirse los cielos, y al Espíritu como paloma que descendía sobre él.
11Y vino una voz de los cielos que decía: Tú eres mi Hijo amado; en ti tengo complacencia.
12Y luego el Espíritu le impulsó al desierto.
13Y estuvo allí en el desierto cuarenta días, y era tentado por Satanás, y estaba con las fieras; y los ángeles le servían.
14Después que Juan fue encarcelado, Jesús vino a Galilea predicando el evangelio del reino de Dios,
15diciendo: El tiempo se ha cumplido, y el reino de Dios se ha acercado; arrepentíos, y creed en el evangelio.
16Andando junto al mar de Galilea, vio a Simón y a Andrés su hermano, que echaban la red en el mar; porque eran pescadores.
17Y les dijo Jesús: Venid en pos de mí, y haré que seáis pescadores de hombres.
18Y dejando luego sus redes, le siguieron.
19Pasando de allí un poco más adelante, vio a Jacobo hijo de Zebedeo, y a Juan su hermano, también ellos en la barca, que remendaban las redes.
20Y luego los llamó; y dejando a su padre Zebedeo en la barca con los jornaleros, le siguieron.
21Y entraron en Capernaum; y los días de reposo, entrando en la sinagoga, enseñaba.
22Y se admiraban de su doctrina; porque les enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad, y no como los escribas.
23Pero había en la sinagoga de ellos un hombre con espíritu inmundo, que dio voces,
24diciendo: ¡Ah! ¿qué tienes con nosotros, Jesús nazareno? ¿Has venido para destruirnos? Sé quién eres, el Santo de Dios.
25Pero Jesús le reprendió, diciendo: ¡Cállate, y sal de él!
26Y el espíritu inmundo, sacudiéndole con violencia, y clamando a gran voz, salió de él.
27Y todos se asombraron, de tal manera que discutían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué nueva doctrina es esta, que con autoridad manda aun a los espíritus inmundos, y le obedecen?
28Y muy pronto se difundió su fama por toda la provincia alrededor de Galilea.
29Al salir de la sinagoga, vinieron a casa de Simón y Andrés, con Jacobo y Juan.
30Y la suegra de Simón estaba acostada con fiebre; y en seguida le hablaron de ella.
31Entonces él se acercó, y la tomó de la mano y la levantó; e inmediatamente le dejó la fiebre, y ella les servía.
32Cuando llegó la noche, luego que el sol se puso, le trajeron todos los que tenían enfermedades, y a los endemoniados;
33y toda la ciudad se agolpó a la puerta.
34Y sanó a muchos que estaban enfermos de diversas enfermedades, y echó fuera muchos demonios; y no dejaba hablar a los demonios, porque le conocían.
35Levantándose muy de mañana, siendo aún muy oscuro, salió y se fue a un lugar desierto, y allí oraba.
36Y le buscó Simón, y los que con él estaban;
37y hallándole, le dijeron: Todos te buscan.
38Él les dijo: Vamos a los lugares vecinos, para que predique también allí; porque para esto he venido.
39Y predicaba en las sinagogas de ellos en toda Galilea, y echaba fuera los demonios.
40Vino a él un leproso, rogándole; e hincada la rodilla, le dijo: Si quieres, puedes limpiarme.
41Y Jesús, teniendo misericordia de él, extendió la mano y le tocó, y le dijo: Quiero, sé limpio.
42Y así que él hubo hablado, al instante la lepra se fue de aquel, y quedó limpio.
43Entonces le encargó rigurosamente, y le despidió luego,
44y le dijo: Mira, no digas a nadie nada, sino ve, muéstrate al sacerdote, y ofrece por tu purificación lo que Moisés mandó, para testimonio a ellos.
45Pero ido él, comenzó a publicarlo mucho y a divulgar el hecho, de manera que ya Jesús no podía entrar abiertamente en la ciudad, sino que se quedaba fuera en los lugares desiertos; y venían a él de todas partes.

1:1 Mark opens with an introduction. This Gospel is about Jesus. With every account in Mark, one should ask, “What is Mark teaching about Jesus in this passage?” • Good News, a frequent term in Mark (see 1:14-15; 8:35; 10:29; 13:10; 14:9), is frequently translated gospel. See study note on Mark 1:15. • The Hebrew word mashiakh (Messiah) is equivalent to the Greek term christos (Christ). Both words mean “anointed.” In the Old Testament, priests (Exod 28:41; Lev 16:32; 21:10), kings (2 Sam 1:14, 16; 19:21; Ps 2), and prophets (1 Kgs 19:16) were anointed with oil to indicate the Lord’s presence, blessing, and authority for the tasks to which God called them. As time went on, Israelites increasingly looked forward to the coming of the Messiah, “the Anointed One,” a descendant of David who would be Israel’s king. The first-century political connotations of this title were such that Jesus avoided openly declaring that he was the Messiah (see Mark 3:11-12; 8:27-30; 14:61-63; 15:2, 26; John 4:25-26). • the Son of God: This title emphasizes Jesus’ unique relationship with God the Father (Mark 1:11; 9:7; 12:4-6; 14:61-62).

1:2-8 This account is not primarily about John the Baptist, the messenger, but about the one he announces as “Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God” (1:1).
1:2-3 Mark includes Old Testament prophecies to support his account of the Good News about Jesus Christ. John the Baptist’s role as the prophetic messenger reveals that Jesus is the promised Lord—Christ, the Son of God. • Isaiah: Mark follows the Jewish practice of mentioning only the most prominent of the sources that make up the quotation (Mal 3:1; Isa 40:3).

1:3 John the Baptist was the voice shouting in the wilderness for people to prepare the way for the Lord’s coming. In Isaiah, this prophecy refers to the coming of the Lord, the God of Israel. Here it refers to the Lord Jesus (see 12:35-37). The early church called itself “the Way,” probably in reference to this promise (see Acts 9:2; 19:9, 23; 22:4; 24:14, 22; cp. Acts 2:28; 18:25-26; Rom 2:20; 2 Pet 2:2, 21).

1:4 John’s mission as the Lord’s messenger was to prepare people for the Messiah’s coming (see Luke 1:76-77) by instructing them to confess their sins, turn to God for forgiveness, and be baptized. Those who did this were prepared to receive Jesus’ message (see Luke 7:29-30). • That John was in the wilderness, probably the desert area around the Jordan River north of the Dead Sea, shows that he was the “voice” of whom Isaiah had spoken (Mark 1:3). • be baptized: The exact origin of John’s baptism is unclear. The Qumran community had an initiatory “baptism” which was repeated regularly, but John’s baptism was once for all. Jewish proselyte baptism has also been seen as a possible source, but it is more likely that such baptisms were not practiced until after John’s ministry.

1:5 All of Judea: John the Baptist created a lot of interest. It was generally believed that there had been no prophet for over 400 years, so prophets were associated with Israel’s past and with the future reign of the Messiah. John preached repentance like the ancient prophets, and he dressed like the great prophet Elijah (1:6), who was predicted to return in the last days (Mal 4:5).

1:8 John’s baptism prepared people for God’s Kingdom by calling them to repentance. The baptism of Jesus brought the gift of the Holy Spirit, through whom sinful people become God’s children (Rom 8:15-16; 1 Cor 12:13; Gal 4:6).

1:9 Jesus’ home at this time was in Nazareth, a small town in lower Galilee (Matt 2:19-23; Luke 2:39). Jesus soon left Nazareth for Capernaum, a city on the Sea of Galilee (Matt 4:13). • John baptized him: Jesus’ reason for receiving the baptism of repentance is explained in Matt 3:14-15.

1:10 The expression the heavens splitting apart indicates Jesus’ unique access to God the Father; in 15:38, the same verb includes believers in that access through Jesus’ death. • All four Gospels refer to the Spirit descending on him like a dove. The Spirit, who was involved in the first creation, acted with Jesus in bringing the new creation (Gen 1:2; Rom 8:15-17; 1 Cor 6:11; Eph 1:13-14; 2 Thes 2:13).

1:12-13 The Spirit then compelled Jesus (cp. Matt 4:1; Luke 4:1): Jesus was victorious over Satan and temptation from the beginning of his ministry; the later exorcisms (Mark 1:21-34; 3:11-12; 5:1-20; 9:14-27) are an outworking of that victory (see 3:27). • Jesus was tempted in the wilderness of Judea. Satan and wild animals (Isa 13:19-22; Ezek 34:25) give the wilderness an evil aura. The wild animals included dogs, wolves, leopards, jackals, and bears. • The period of forty days recalls Israel’s forty years of testing in the wilderness. Israel failed, but Jesus was victorious—he was tempted without sinning (Heb 2:18; 4:15; cp. Jas 1:3, 12; 1 Pet 1:7; Rev 2:10).

1:14-15 This summary introduces 1:14–3:6. Such summaries (see also 3:7-12; 6:6) help hearers understand what follows; most of Mark’s original audience would have heard the Gospel read aloud.
1:14 Jesus’ ministry is described as beginning after John was arrested. There was some overlap (John 3:22-24; 4:1-2), but most of Jesus’ ministry occurred after John’s. John also belongs primarily to the old order (Matt 11:7-14), while Jesus belongs primarily to the new. Both men fulfilled God’s plan through being arrested and executed (Mark 6:14-29; 9:31; 10:33). Jesus began preaching in Galilee at this time, but John 2:13–4:43 suggests that Jesus had had an earlier ministry in Judea.

1:15 Jesus’ preaching is summarized by his announcement that the Kingdom of God had come, and that people needed to repent and believe the Good News about the Messiah (1:1). • The Kingdom of God is not tied to a territory; it dynamically began in Jesus’ person and extended to his followers. • In response to the arrival of God’s Kingdom, people are called to repent (to turn from sin and yield to God) and to have faith in God’s Good News. In Jesus’ time, the Good News was the arrival of God’s reign through the Messiah. For Mark’s later audience, it was the news of Jesus’ death, resurrection, ascension, and promised return (15:1–16:8). All people, Jews and Gentiles alike, need God’s forgiveness through repentance and faith in Jesus.

1:21-28 Jesus’ exorcisms reveal Jesus’ identity and his power over Satan (see study notes on Mark 1:12-13 and 3:27; see also 1:34, 39; 3:11-12, 22; 5:1-20; 6:13; 7:24-30; 9:14-29).
1:21 Mark introduces his first account of an exorcism with Jesus and his companions going into the synagogue in Capernaum. Jesus’ teaching in the synagogue suggests that he already had a reputation as a teacher and was therefore invited to speak (cp. Acts 13:15).

1:22 The teachers of religious law were professional scribes—scholars who taught, copied, and interpreted Jewish law for the people. They were primarily associated with the Pharisees. The scribes’ authority was derived from quoting other scribes (cp. Matt 5:21-48). Jesus’ teaching caused amazement because he spoke and acted with real authority (see Mark 1:27; 5:20; 6:2; 7:37; 10:24-32; 11:18; 15:5).

1:23-24 The demon spoke through the man who was possessed by an evil spirit (1:24). Demons frequently cause disease (9:17, 27; Matt 17:15) and self-destructive behavior (Mark 1:26; 5:2-5; 9:17-18, 20-22). Demons know who Jesus is (1:34); they consistently testify that he is the Holy One of God (see 3:11; 5:7). • In saying us, the evil spirit spoke on behalf of all demons. It recognized Jesus’ complete authority and understood that he had come to interfere with and destroy evil.

1:25 Jesus did not need to shout or utter magic words. He simply spoke with the authority of the Son of God (1:1), and the evil spirit obeyed. • Be quiet! Jesus commanded the evil spirit not to make him known. This is an instance of the “messianic secret,” an expression for passages in Mark in which Jesus commands demons or people not to reveal his identity (1:25, 34; 3:11-12; 8:30; 9:9).

Paul later used this same opportunity (Acts 13:5, 14-15; 14:1; 16:13; 17:1). • Jesus counted on Jewish hospitality when he traveled (cp. Mark 6:10; Gen 18:1-8; 19:1-8; Luke 10:7; Heb 13:2; 3 Jn 1:5-8). • The region of Galilee was roughly forty miles north to south and twenty-five miles east to west (sixty-five by forty kilometers).

23Pero había en la sinagoga de ellos un hombre con espíritu inmundo, que dio voces,
24diciendo: ¡Ah! ¿qué tienes con nosotros, Jesús nazareno? ¿Has venido para destruirnos? Sé quién eres, el Santo de Dios.
25Pero Jesús le reprendió, diciendo: ¡Cállate, y sal de él!
26Y el espíritu inmundo, sacudiéndole con violencia, y clamando a gran voz, salió de él.
27Y todos se asombraron, de tal manera que discutían entre sí, diciendo: ¿Qué es esto? ¿Qué nueva doctrina es esta, que con autoridad manda aun a los espíritus inmundos, y le obedecen?
