Commentary on Mark 1:9

Theological / Devotional

In those days. [The Baptism, Mark 1:9-11 = Matt. 3:13-17 = Luke 3:21-23a. Major comment: Matthew.] That is, in the days of John’s ministry.

In Jordan. See on v. 5. Mark refers to the fact that the baptizing was done “in the river of Jordan,” and that after baptism the candidates came “up out of the water” (v. 10). This is strong evidence that John’s baptism was by immersion.
