Nazarene Commentary Mark 1:9-11 – An Approved Son Baptized

The Beginning of the Evangel, by Mark

Chapter One:

Preparations for the Appointed time

Continuation of Mark 1:1-8 – The Beginning of the Good News

Mark 1:9-11 – An Approved Son Baptized

Matthew 3:13-17[1]

MK1:9It was at this moment that Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. MK1:10And instantly on rising up out of the water he saw the sky parting, and the Pneuma descending like a dove upon him. MK1:11Then a Voice came from the sky, saying: “You are My beloved Son whom I approve.”

God looks down from heaven and approves not Himself but His son, the man Jeshua, Jesus Christ from Nazareth, son of Joseph and Mary (Miriam/Myriam/Maria). Those who were at the place where Jesus was baptised could clearly hear the Most High speaking about that man, of flesh and blood, whom they could see.
