 {Jesus came into Galilee} ((886c)then ho I(8873)ous eis t(886e)
Galilaian). Here Mark begins the narrative of the active
ministry of Jesus and he is followed by Matthew and Luke. Mark
undoubtedly follows the preaching of Peter. But for the Fourth
Gospel we should not know of the year of work in various parts of
the land (Perea, Galilee, Judea, Samaria) preceding the Galilean
ministry. John supplements the Synoptic Gospels at this point as
often. The arrest of John had much to do with the departure of
Jesus from Judea to Galilee ( Joh 4:1-4 ). {Preaching the gospel
of God} (k(8872)uss(936e) to euaggelion tou theou). It is the
subjective genitive, the gospel that comes from God. Swete
observes that repentance (metanoia) is the keynote in the
message of the Baptist as gospel (euaggelion) is with Jesus.
But Jesus took the same line as John and proclaimed both
repentance and the arrival of the kingdom of God. Mark adds to
Matthew's report the words "the time is fulfilled" (pepl(8872)(9374)ai
ho kairos). It is a significant fact that John looks backward to
the promise of the coming of the Messiah and signalizes the
fulfilment as near at hand (perfect passive indicative). It is
like Paul's fulness of time (pl(8872)(936d)a tou chronou) in  Ga 4:4 
and fulness of the times (pl(8872)(936d)a ton kair(936e)) in  Eph 1:10 
when he employs the word kairos, opportunity or crisis as here
in Mark rather than the more general term chronos. Mark adds
here also: "and believe in the gospel" (kai pisteuete en t(9369)
euaggeli(9369)). Both repent and believe in the gospel. Usually
faith in Jesus (or God) is expected as in  John 14:1 . But this
crisis called for faith in the message of Jesus that the Messiah
had come. He did not use here the term Messiah, for it had come
to have political connotations that made its use at present
unwise. But the kingdom of God had arrived with the presence of
the King. It does make a difference what one believes. Belief or
disbelief in the message of Jesus made a sharp cleavage in those
who heard him. "Faith in the message was the first step; a creed
of some kind lies at the basis of confidence in the Person of
Christ, and the occurrence of the phrase pistuete en t(9369)
euaggeli(9369) in the oldest record of the teaching of our Lord is a
valuable witness to this fact" (Swete).
