11 And a voice came out of heaven, You are my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
See my servant, whom I am supporting, my loved one, in whom I take delight: I have put my spirit on him; he will give the knowledge of the true God to the nations.
And a voice came out of heaven, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased.
I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
For God had such love for the world that he gave his only Son, so that whoever has faith in him may not come to destruction but have eternal life.
Who has made us free from the power of evil and given us a place in the kingdom of the Son of his love;
For God the Father gave him honour and glory, when such a voice came to him out of the great glory, saying, This is my dearly loved Son, with whom I am well pleased. And this voice came from heaven even to our ears, when we were with him on the holy mountain.
And there was a voice from the cloud saying, This is my Son, the man of my selection; give ear to him.
This I saw myself and my witness is that he is the Son of God.
For the Father has love for the Son and lets him see everything which he does: and he will let him see greater works than these so that you may be full of wonder. In the same way, as the Father gives life to the dead, even so the Son gives life to those to whom he is pleased to give it. The Father is not the judge of men, but he has given all decisions into the hands of the Son; So that all men may give honour to the Son even as they give honour to the Father. He who gives no honour to the Son gives no honour to the Father who sent him.
And the Father himself who sent me has given witness about me. Not one of you has ever given ear to his voice; his form you have not seen.
Father, give glory to your name. Then there came a voice out of heaven, saying, I have given it glory, and I will give it glory again. Hearing the sound, a number of people who were there said that it was thunder: others said, An angel was talking to him. Jesus said in answer, This voice came not for me but for you.

Commentary on Mark 1 Matthew Henry Commentary
An Exposition, With Practical Observations, of
The Gospel According to ST. Mark
Chapter 1
Mark's narrative does not take rise so early as those of Matthew and Luke do, from the birth of our Saviour, but from John's baptism, from which he soon passes to Christ's public ministry. Accordingly, in this chapter, we have,
Mar 1:1-8
We may observe here,
Quotations are here borrowed from two prophecies-that of Isaiah, which was the longest, and that of Malachi, which was the latest (and there were above three hundred years between them), both of whom spoke to the same purport concerning the beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, in the ministry of John.
Mar 1:9-13
We have here a brief account of Christ's baptism and temptation, which were largely related Mt. 3 and 4.
Mar 1:14-22
Here is,
Observe,
Mar 1:23-28
As soon as Christ began to preach, he began to work miracles for the confirmation of his doctrine; and they were such as intimated the design and tendency of his doctrine, which were to conquer Satan, and cure sick souls.
In these verses, we have,

In these verses, we have,

We have here the story of Christ's cleansing a leper, which we had before, Mt. 8:2-4. It teaches us,
