Introduction to the gospel of Jesus Christ
Ἀρχὴ
τοῦ εὐαγγελίου
Ἰησοῦ χριστοῦ.
Καθὼς γέγραπται ἐν τῷ Ἠσαΐᾳ
τῷ προφήτῃ·
Ἰδοὺ ἀποστέλλω τὸν ἄγγελόν μου πρὸ προσώπου σου, ὃς κατασκευάσει τὴν ὁδόν σου·
φωνὴ βοῶντος ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ·
Ἑτοιμάσατε τὴν ὁδὸν κυρίου, εὐθείας ποιεῖτε τὰς τρίβους αὐτοῦ,
ἐγένετο Ἰωάννης ὁ
βαπτίζων ἐν τῇ ἐρήμῳ
κηρύσσων βάπτισμα μετανοίας
εἰς ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν.
καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο πρὸς αὐτὸν πᾶσα ἡ Ἰουδαία χώρα καὶ οἱ Ἱεροσολυμῖται πάντες,
καὶ ἐβαπτίζοντο ὑπ’ αὐτοῦ ἐν τῷ Ἰορδάνῃ ποταμῷ
ἐξομολογούμενοι τὰς ἁμαρτίας αὐτῶν.
καὶ ἦν ὁ Ἰωάννης ἐνδεδυμένος τρίχας καμήλου
καὶ ζώνην δερματίνην περὶ τὴν ὀσφὺν αὐτοῦ,
καὶ ἔσθων ἀκρίδας καὶ μέλι ἄγριον.
καὶ ἐκήρυσσεν λέγων·
Ἔρχεται ὁ ἰσχυρότερός μου ὀπίσω μου,
οὗ οὐκ εἰμὶ ἱκανὸς κύψας λῦσαι τὸν ἱμάντα τῶν ὑποδημάτων αὐτοῦ·
ἐγὼ ἐβάπτισα ὑμᾶς ὕδατι,
αὐτὸς δὲ βαπτίσει ὑμᾶς ἐν πνεύματι ἁγίῳ.
What does Gospel mean here? Most likely this is a formal recognition of a new literary genre.
What is the relationship between these sections? how does 1:2-3 relate to 1:4-8? I think the "As it is written" names the action and then 4-8 serves as restatement to clarify what that action looked like.
WHY DOES MARK USE THIS WORD HERE? "As" names an action and then the next section will clarify what that action actually looks like.
Interesting Phrase. Would be interesting to search this in the Jewish Lit. to see if this references to an outside source.
