Exegesis
The direct object of this participial action is to euangelion tou theou {τὸ εὐαγγέλιον τοῦ θεοῦ | tò euangélion toû theoû}, where the articular noun euangelion is modified by the genitive tou theou, indicating possession or source: it is the good news that comes from God or belongs to God. In translation, the temporal articular infinitive construction is rendered with the clause “after John was handed over/arrested” to preserve the timing. The circumstantial participle is expressed as a concurrent finite verbal idea (“preaching,” “began announcing”) to reflect its ongoing aspect while keeping English idiom natural, and the genitive tou theou is maintained as “of God” to preserve the theological nuance of divine origin.
In context — Mark 1:14
And after John was handed over, Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God .
