Mark 1.14, META DE TO PARADOQHNAI TON IWANNHN HLQEN hO IHSOUS EIS THN
GALILAIAN EIS THN GALILAIAN KHRUSSWN TO EUAGGELION TOU QEOU
I've always thought of TOU QEOU as an objective genitive here, gospel
of / about God, but it occurs to me that it makes good sense as a
subjective genitive, the gospel which comes from God. Jesus has been
specially appointed by God in the baptism story (1.11) and now goes
to preach the gospel which he has received from him, so that Mark is
presenting Jesus as God's prophet, taking his message from God to the
people. I haven't had a chance to look at any commentaries, so
perhaps this is a common view?
Thanks
Mark
