My study and observation of Mark 1. It starts with the prophecy of God sending His messenger John to help people to know that the Messiah has arrived. In Mark 1:10 Jesus is baptized and when that is done by full immersion He comes out of the water, and then God testifies that it is His Son. Jesus casts out demons and becomes famous throughout Galilee, he also cures a person who has a bad fever, and people with diseases. At one point Jesus was, “indigent Mark 1:41 NIV”, then heals the leper. Just for the sake of historical curiosity, NIV says, “indigent” yet others like NLT say “moved with compassion” this doesn’t affect the verse hardly at all and changes no major doctrine. This affects no core doctrine but might give us some insight into understanding the mind of God. Jesus was constantly being surrounded with people that wanted to be healed. He did have compassion and even if angry did not sin. Jesus loves everyone and loved everyone back then too. Jesus sometimes departed for personal time with God. The love of Christ towards everyone was without limits.
