Book ◦ Chapter

In those days
This phrase situates the event within a specific time frame, referring to the period when John the Baptist was actively preaching and baptizing in the wilderness. It connects to the prophetic fulfillment ofIsaiah 40:3, where a voice cries out in the wilderness to prepare the way for the Lord. This was a time of great expectation among the Jewish people for the coming of the Messiah.

Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee
Nazareth was a small, seemingly insignificant town in the region of Galilee. This fulfills the prophecy that the Messiah would be called a Nazarene (Matthew 2:23). Galilee was a region often looked down upon by Judeans, yet it was here that Jesus spent much of His early life, emphasizing His humble beginnings and connection to the common people. This also highlights the fulfillment ofIsaiah 9:1-2, which speaks of a great light coming from Galilee.

and was baptized by John
John the Baptist's role was to prepare the way for the Messiah, calling people to repentance. Jesus' baptism by John, despite being sinless, signifies His identification with humanity and His willingness to fulfill all righteousness (Matthew 3:15). It marks the beginning of His public ministry and serves as a model for Christian baptism, symbolizing repentance and the washing away of sins.

in the Jordan
The Jordan River holds significant historical and spiritual importance in Israel's history. It was the site where the Israelites crossed into the Promised Land (Joshua 3:14-17) and where Elijah was taken up to heaven (2 Kings 2:8-11). By being baptized in the Jordan, Jesus connects His ministry to these pivotal moments in Israel's history, symbolizing a new beginning and the fulfillment of God's promises.

Persons / Places / Events

1.Jesus
The central figure of Christianity, believed to be the Son of God and the Messiah. In this passage, He begins His public ministry.

2.Nazareth
A small town in Galilee where Jesus grew up. It was considered insignificant by many, yet it was the place from which the Savior emerged.

3.Galilee
A region in northern Israel, known for its diverse population and as the setting for much of Jesus' ministry.

4.John the Baptist
A prophet who preached repentance and baptized people in preparation for the coming Messiah. He is the one who baptizes Jesus in this passage.

5.The Jordan River
A significant river in Israel where many pivotal biblical events occurred, including the baptism of Jesus, symbolizing purification and the beginning of His ministry.

Teaching Points

The Humility of Jesus
Jesus, though sinless, submitted to baptism, demonstrating humility and obedience to God's plan. We are called to follow His example of humility in our own lives.

The Significance of Baptism
Baptism is a public declaration of faith and repentance. It symbolizes purification and the beginning of a new life in Christ. Believers are encouraged to view baptism as an essential step in their spiritual journey.

The Role of Preparation
Just as John prepared the way for Jesus, we are called to prepare our hearts and lives for Christ's work in us. This involves repentance and a commitment to follow Him.

The Importance of Place
Jesus' emergence from Nazareth, a humble and overlooked place, reminds us that God often works through unexpected and humble beginnings. We should not despise small beginnings in our own lives.

What Does Mark 1:9 Mean

In those days

• Mark opens by anchoring us in real time—“those days” when John’s call to repentance was echoing through the Judean wilderness (Mark 1:4–5).

• Luke pinpoints the same period under Tiberius Caesar (Luke 3:1-3), reminding us that the gospel events unfolded in verifiable history, not myth.

• God’s prophetic clock was striking; centuries-old promises about the coming Messiah (Isaiah 40:3) were moving from scroll to soil.

Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee

• The Messiah steps onto the stage from an unlikely village. Nazareth’s very name drew skepticism (John 1:46), yet it fulfills God’s pattern of exalting the humble (1 Corinthians 1:27-29).

• Galilee, once called “Galilee of the Gentiles,” lay under spiritual shadow (Isaiah 9:1-2), making Jesus’ arrival a beam of promised light.

• His quiet upbringing (Luke 2:51-52) underscores both true humanity and deliberate obscurity until “the fullness of time” (Galatians 4:4).

and was baptized by John

• Although sinless (2 Corinthians 5:21;Hebrews 4:15), Jesus joined the crowds in baptism to “fulfill all righteousness” (Matthew 3:15).

• By stepping into the waters:

– He identified with the very sinners He came to save (Isaiah 53:11-12).

– He validated John’s prophetic ministry (John 1:33-34).

– He previewed His upcoming death, burial, and resurrection that our own baptism later pictures (Romans 6:3-4).

in the Jordan

• The Jordan River marked Israel’s entry into promise (Joshua 3:14-17) and Elijah’s dramatic transfer of ministry to Elisha (2 Kings 2:6-14).

• Here, Jesus’ greater ministry is inaugurated, immediately followed by the Father’s voice and the Spirit’s descent (Mark 1:10-11).

• The same waters that once parted for Israel now cradle the One who will part the veil between God and humanity (Hebrews 10:19-20).

summary

Mark 1:9 captures the moment the long-awaited Savior steps from private life into public mission. Coming from humble Nazareth, He joins repentant sinners in Jordan’s waters, fully identifying with us while remaining sinless. His baptism validates John, fulfills righteousness, and foreshadows the redemptive work soon accomplished at the cross and empty tomb.

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers

(9)And it came to pass.--See Note onMatthew 3:13. St. Mark adds "from Nazareth" to St. Matthew's more general statement, "from Galilee."
