Context of Mark 1:15
13And he was in the wilderness forty days tempted of Satan; and he was with the wild beasts; and the angels ministered unto him. 14Now after John was delivered up, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe in the gospel. 16And passing along by the sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and Andrew the brother of Simon casting a net in the sea; for they were fishers. 17And Jesus said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become fishers of men.

Commentaries on Mark 1:15
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 15The time is fulfilled - That is, the time appointed for sending the Messiah; and particularly the time specified by Daniel, Daniel 9:24-27. Here are four points worthy of deep attention, in the preaching of the Son of God. Every thing that is done is according to a plan laid by the Divine wisdom, and never performed till the time appointed was filled up. That the kingdom and reign of sin are to be destroyed, and the kingdom of grace and heaven established…Read the comment

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 14-22Verses 14-22 Jesus began to preach in Galilee, after that John was put in prison. If some be laid aside, others shall be raised up, to carry on the same work. Observe the great truths Christ preached. By repentance we give glory to our Creator whom we have offended; by faith we give glory to our Redeemer who came to save us from our sins. Christ has joined these two together, and let no man think to put them asunder. Christ puts honour upon those who…Read the comment
- Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 15The preaching of Jesus is summarized in his announcement that the kingdom of God had come. He called people to repent (turn away from sin and turn to God) and believe the good news about the Messiah (1:1). The kingdom of God is not associated with a place or land. It began with Jesus himself and continues through his followers. Because the kingdom of God has come, people must repent and have faith in God's good news. In the time of Jesus, this good news…Read the comment
