Mar 1:14 | TNotes | STEP | Summary for Mark 1:14-15: 1:14-15 This summary introduces 1:14–3:6 . Such summaries (see also 3:7-12 ; 6:6 ) help hearers understand what follows; most of Mark’s original audience would have heard the Gospel read aloud. 1:14 Jesus’ ministry is described as beginning after John was arrested . There was some overlap (John 3:22-24 ; 4:1-2 ), but most of Jesus’ ministry occurred after John’s. John also belongs primarily to the old order (Matt 11:7-14 ), while Jesus belongs primarily to the new. Both men fulfilled God’s plan through being arrested and executed (Mark 6:14-29 ; 9:31 ; 10:33 ). Jesus began preaching in Galilee at this time, but John 2:13–4:43 suggests that Jesus had had an earlier ministry in Judea.
