First of all, the Greek, and be careful, or the moderator will yell at you
for not using b-Greek transliteration:
Ἀρχὴ τοῦ εὐαγγελίου Ἰησοῦ Χριστοῦ [υἱοῦ θεοῦ].
ARCH TOU EUAGGELIOU IHSOU CRISTOU hIOU QEOU
It's certainly possible, and this is the way most EV's render it.
EUAGGELIOU is dependent on ARCH, IHSOU CRISTOU depends on EUAGGELIOU, and
hIOU QEOU is in apposition to IHSOU CRISTOU...
There is some textual doubt about IHSOU CRISTOU, but the grammar of the
extant text is as I have said.
