Mark 1:14,15

Beginning of our Lord's Ministry

Between the events just described and those on which the Evangelist now enters, must be placed several recorded chiefly by St John; viz., (1) The testimony of the Baptist to Christ as the Lamb of God(John 1:19-34); (2) the early joining of Andrew, John, Simon, Philip and Nathanael (John 1:35-51); (3) the marriage at Cana (John 2:1-12); (4) the first visit to Jerusalem, first cleansing of the Temple and conference with Nicodemus (John 2:13-21; John 3:1-21); (5) the ministry with the Baptist (John 3:22-36); (6) the imprisonment of the Baptist (Luke 3:19-20); (7) the return of Jesus to Galilee through Samaria, and the discourse with the woman at Jacob's well (John 4:3-42); (8) cure of the nobleman's son at Cana (John 4:43-54).
