Commentary

Commentary on Mark 1:4

Theological / Devotional

Repentance. See on Matt. 3:2. John’s baptism was a “baptism of repentance” because it was characterized by repentance. The act of baptism did not guarantee either repentance or forgiveness. But baptism was not genuine unless marked by these experiences.

Remission. Or, “forgiveness.” See on Matt. 3:6.
