TGoMS: Chapter 1v9-13

This is the notes from when I read verses 9-13 of chapter 1 [ebible.com NAS]

[9] In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.
[10] Immediately coming up out of the water, He saw the heavens opening, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon Him; [11] and a voice came out of the heavens: “You are My beloved Son, in You I am well-pleased.”
[12] Immediately the Spirit *impelled Him to go out into the wilderness. [13] And He was in the wilderness forty days being tempted by Satan; and He was with the wild beasts, and the angels were ministering to Him.

The only thing I’ve not noticed before is the “He saw the heavens opening”. I always thought the “he” was John.

Also, verse 12 where it talks about “immediately” seems to differ quite a lot from the account in the gospel of John.

This is a series of posts on The Gospel of Mark. I’m taking notes for myself really but if you have input then please leave a comment so myself and others can benefit. In no way do I think I’m some great theologian so please feel free to point out the flaws in my logic. The rest of this series can be found here.
