Central Idea: Jesus was baptized by John, descended upon by the Spirit, and acknowledged by the Father. Explanations: 1. I decided to give verse 10 three separate clauses, assigning both participial phrases full-clause status. I felt this best emphasizes the progression in the narrative of this verse, particularly the progression from the skies splitting to the spirit descending. While the verse could be constricted to one main clause, this division seems to draw out the drama to the degree that I believe Mark wishes to do so himself. 2. In 10 Mark narrates what happens "immediately". I decided to attach only the rest of 10 to this "immediately". While the content of verse 11 might be attached, I felt that it more vividly highlighted the progression of 10-11 to note that the Spirit came on Jesus immediately as Jesus rose from the water, and then the voice from heaven declared him to be the Son. Insights: 1. It helps me to notice that Jesus came from Nazareth with one purpose--to be baptized by John. But this baptism welcomed two results--the descending of the Spirit, and the acknowledgment of the Father. Further, I would say that this two-fold result is a progression in and of itself. The Spirit descending on Jesus paints the artistic demonstration of revelation, while the words of the Father sound forth the articulate proclamation of revelation. In other words, the Spirit shows Jesus to be the Anointed One, while the Father explicitly declares him to be the Son of God. With this progression, the climax of Jesus' baptism is the eventual proclamation by the Father that Jesus is his beloved Son. This echos the progression of Mark's gospel definition found in 1:1 . In fact, the formula in the opening verse (Jesus-Christ (Anointed One)-Son of God) is acted out in 1:9-11 as Jesus ( 9 ) is anointed ( 10 ) as the Son of God ( 11 ) . 2. Notice how Jesus, once he has made his way to the Jordan, becomes a consistently passive character. He is baptized by John. He is anointed by the Spirit. He is acknowledged by the Father. (This passive nature will continue through verses 12-13 in the temptation story.) Questions: Is there any exegetical/theological significance to the passive nature of Jesus in this passage?
