Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; The Son of God is no voluntary effect of the Father's power and wisdom, like the created universe, which once did not exist, and might never have existed, and must necessarily be ever confined within the bounds of time and space. He is the natural and necessary, and therefore the eternal and infinite, birth of the Divine fecundity, the boundless overflow of the Eternal Fountain of all existence and perfection, the infinite splendour of the Eternal Sun, the unspotted mirror, and complete and adequate image in Whom may be seen all the fulness of the Godhead. (R. Watson.) Parallel Verses KJV: The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God;WEB: The beginning of the Good News of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. |
