“The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, Son of God”, the first verse of the gospel according to Mark, has been the subject of numerous debates within the last two centuries. These debates on the opening verse of Mark that have given rise to exciting discussions in the study of Mark primarily touch on issues of syntax, function and questions of textual criticism. Consequently, the interpretation of the verse and the role it plays in relation to the entire gospel narrative has been of particular interest to Markan and New Testament scholars.
This article both supports the longer version of the text of the opening verse of Mark that includes the phrase “Son of God” and also strongly advocates that Mark 1:1 should be taken as the title-verse for the entire gospel. On that basis, it is argued that this title-verse is intended to be a succinct and condensed presentation of the theological trajectory of the gospel and that the correct understanding and interpretation of Mark 1:1 is crucial for the understanding the whole gospel. Some of the most discernable themes inherent in the verse are the centrality of the identity of Jesus and the importance of the continuation of his mission after his resurrecttion. These themes have fundamental implications for the followers of Christ.
