Mark shows us “the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ” (v. 1). After introducing John the Baptist, he includes three (really four) foundational scenes that mark the beginning movement of the gospel—from the lips of Jesus to those who followed Him and then took it around the world.

I. Identification (v. 9)
II. Confirmation (vv. 10-11)
III. Confrontation (vv. 12-13)
IV. Proclamation (vv. 14-15)
