Notes

The call to repent is a short form of the fuller message in 1:15.

Jesus sent the disciples to preach and heal. During this mission, they memorized the teachings of Jesus by repeating them. This prepared them to later recall and share what Jesus did and taught (Luke 1:2).

The mission of Jesus and the misunderstanding of the disciples are prominent themes in this section.
